I have a 100 gallon setup with a "Herbie" overflow system. After much adjusting, I wanted an automated way.

With the help of a friend, I now have a prototype that will keep the overflow water level at the exact level you set it to, without noise, and without fail.

Is there any interest if I get a number of these made? The cost will be no more than that of a gate valve.
If interested, what size drain pipe are you using?
 
I'll get some pictures and a video together.
 
Going to take a while longer. Need to get provisional patent in place before I show anything.
