gfk - Yes, you can set up your overflow in this manner also. Most of the plumbing was pieced together from LFS's, HomeDepot and Marine Depot (http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_plumbing_parts__index.asp). The flexible tubing on my returns are 3/4" vinyl tubing and are split using a male barbed "Y." How large of a sump do you plan on running?
nodbugger - I feel your pain. I've spent a fair amount of money into my 29G. I would love to have a calcium reactor, but I (attempt to) refuse to spend any additional money, unless my tank is in dire need of it. It's similar with LFS's here as well, prices are typically in the +$40 range for SPS corals. Perhaps there's a larger network of reefkeepers here available for resources.
gamer - Not much. The overflow goes directly into a filter sock and is the only noise the sump creates with the random bubbles collecting into it. Overflow and sump noise is surpassed by a EuroReef skimmer, which IMO, is loudest (in relative terms) piece of equipment in my setup.

lgoins - I used a standard switch from CaliforniaReefs (http://www.californiareefs.com/forsale.htm). Then added a second float switch for redundancy, as shown in the pic below:
The auto topoff switch operates an MJ400 placed in a ~4 gallon rubbermaid container, partially seen at the bottom of the pic below:
There are other topoff units from online retail or you can make your own, DIY.

gfk - I'm also running a 10G sump. The 1-1/2" bulkhead overflow compliments the flow rate of the Mag 7 I'm currently running. Do some research on the SCWD. I've read others experiencing long term reliability issues with their units. A "Y" would do fine with your two (2) 1/2" returns and then you can use a powerhead or two to create additional flow. If you don't want pumps in your display, a closed loop should be in order.
