I got a great deal on 180 gallon tank that has never been used or set up. I have never dealt with sumps, so this is all new to me. The guy I bought it from said it has everything it needs. The tank has two overflows that are pre-drilled. Just scanning this pic, is there anything you see that I will need but don't have? Any help is appreciated.

Are the nuts and o-rings there for the bulkheads?
It looks like there is a threaded Union coming off the sump. You need the other half of that Union and the o-ring to connect the plumbing to your return pump.
You will also need fittings and pipe to connect your drains to the sump and from the pump to the returns.
 
After looking at the pic again, You need more bulkheads for the tank unless they are in it.
The flex hoses are for the drains so you just need the plumbing from the return pump and to get the pump connected to the sump.
Don't over tighten the bulkhead fittings they will crack easily.
