Plumbing a sump. Help?

[Anderman]

I had someone come to my home and build a 450 gallon tank with side outside overflow boxes and a 120 gallon sump. But now I can't find someone to come and plumb it in. It has 2 drains on each box with one return on each side of the tank. Does anyone have a similar tank with pictures of how they plumbed it in? What kind of bulkheads should I go with if I use flexhose to plumb it. Slip/slip or slip/thread? Here is a pic of the tank and sump.

Plumbing is simple.. But only after you've done it once or twice Do you have HD or Lowes in Canada?? Also I would go to the local lfs and get some Bulkheads that fit your drilled holes in the tank.

That is an awesome looking setup by the way!!!!

the first time is by far the hardest.. its logic defying but somehow it works...

my setup is different but im sure someone has a setup close to yours...
