    I use this type of overflow/drain on my fuge. It works well and is dead silent.

    On RC, I read the term "Herbie Overflow". That is where they turn a standard RR tank with two hole (1 return, 1 drain) into a 2 drain system and use a hang-on return. If you have two overflows, you just repeat the process.

    The overflow rockmp mentions still works for a two pipe drain system. The third pipe is only for back up.
