What are your thoughts on this pump? I figured if the flow isn't as advertised, it'll still probably be good enough for the tank. And the 2 inch drain should be able to keep up with it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DW4JU06/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?smid=A35Z9O0DZA4VQP&psc=1 On a different...

Another quick question. I can do either 1.5 in sch 80, or 2 in abs bulkheads. What are the pros and cons to one over the other? This might be a dumb question, but do I need to get a pump with those same size fittings as the bulkheads. And if I do, where do I find that?
