You guys are going to have to remember that he is going to have flow limitation from his overflow especially with only 4 x 1" lines coming out of it.

Thank you,
I appreciate all the suggestions, keep them coming.
As of now the stock will be a 20+" RTC, 14" Gar, and 9" Gourami. I may try putting in my 12" Distichodus Lussoso in with them, maybe in the larger tank it won't nip fins. I'm also growing out a PB and TSN that will be added when large enough.
I measured the bulkhead fittings that were in there 1 1/4 id., 1 5/8" od, the holes in the bottom of the tank are 1 3/4".
I assume the size of the out takes and overflow dictate the size pump/pumps I would need.
I'm trying to come up with a stand design to where I will be able to fit a sump and filter equipment under the tank and still support the tank. I won't have access to the equipment in the house. The tank will be set up outside through the wall into my living room. I will be enclosing and insulating the tank with room to work around it. The first step is to get the concrete work done and let it cure, then build the stand.
This is getting expensive!
It will be worth it in the end.
