I need plumbing help!!!!!

I am working on my plumbing for my sump. I have a 1 inch DIY PVC overflow. I have that going all the way to the sump with a ball valve and it switches to 1 inch flexible tubing near the point where it enters the sump tank.

I have a quiet one 4000 that has a 1 inch threaded input and output with parts to convert that to a 3/4 opening for flexible tubing. I have a few feet of 3/4 flexible tubing to return the water to the display. Is there some sort of ball valve type thing to attach to flexible tubing so i can adjust the flow going to the display? I also wanted to have a T to redirect any excess water back to the fuge if the pump overpumps my overflow......is there a way to do that with flexible tubing? I didn't see anything that would work at Lowes (i may have been not looking in the right spot.)

Finally and most importantly, how do i put the flexible tubing over and into my tank and somehow mount it inside the tank? HOW DO I DO THIS?? Are there connections that would allow me to have a flow pattern or nossle of some sort inside the tank that would connect to this flexible 3/4 inch tubing?

Thanks for your help in advance!!
