Basically just figure out what PVC fittings you need to fit the hoses on there. I used some threaded nipple fittings that the hoses slide up on, while the other end screws into the pvc piping. Likewise though you'll need to figure out some way to attach an intake tube with a strainer on it to keep from sucking fish up.
If it sounds too complicated then just don't use them, it's no biggie, but nice to have if you ever do decide to run a sump.
