I use a piece of plastic canvas mesh that is cut to shape & secured with plastic zipties. If you have a canopy, it is not seen.

To silence the overflow, you can use two PVC elbows. First, attach (do not glue) a female-to-female elbow to your drain tube to change flow direction from vertical to horizontal and adjust the top of the elbow to about your waterline. Second, attach a male-to-female elbow to the first and adjust the angle ±30° from horizontal (negative means the opening is totally submerged). Depending on the volume of the flow, you need to play with this angle. This is cheap and might be enough to reduce the noise to your liking.
As far as preventing fish from jumping in, any top cover will do.

thanks for the info I tried that butbeing that the dream pipes are 1 1/2 there’s not much room when I try to do this with the elbows. I guess I’m lookingmake a little more quiet but more to protect from fish or my eel from getting in the overflow
