Plumbing help

[lemphotos]

Hello guys I'm trying to get my new tanks up and running but I am having issues with plumbing, Idk where to start! Both my tank and sump are drilled. Please help me and let's figure this out together. I will include pictures

Okay, if I'm looking at this correctly, the tank is drilled for an overflow on the right top, and the sump has a top center inlet. Is this right?

Yes, you are right. This is my work so far

Off to the right start, few questions, what are you using for adhesive, for threaded connections, and is that crack in the sump completely fixed and water tight ?

I used 3 1 1/4 bulkheads with some regular PVC tuning, then I'm going to run nylon tubing from the overflow into the sump. And yes the cracks in the sump are all fixed and no leaks are present, i got purple primer and oatey glue.

I just need to figure out how my overflow is going to work since I can't find anything that's 1 1/4 of an inch for a nice flow. Making flow from my display into my sump, can't figure it out So I was thinking of putting this.

View attachment 238597 this is a top view of the overflow.

Take a look at the last item on page 1 and several items on page 2 of this link: http://pentairaes.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=strainers.
Hopefully one of these will fit the inner threads of the bulkhead fitting.
