there is the pics....
here are the questions....
in the first picture...what are the holes for? i have some piping that came with the tank and i dont know how it gets set up at all. hole 1 is smaller then hole 2.
in the second picture just tryin to figure out how it works....the water over flows into the the first part, then afgter that fills up it goes into the part where its drilled???
third question...this filter came with the tank. i already have a wet dry....would i be able to drill my proclear 75 and connect it to the plumbing piece that is shown in the last picture? so it would go into the proclear, then into the sump part of that then go thru the hole i drilled and into the new filter where the return pump is going to be located and i will also turn into a refugium?
PLEASE HELP . very excited and want to get my trigger and puffer and eel out of the little 44 g tank!

The first picture the two holes for a drain and a return line. You will need bulkheads to go into the holes. The larger hole is for the drain line. You will probably want to get some type of standpipe to control the water level in your overflow. The smaller hole is for your return. Your return pump will hook up to the bulkhead in this hole and will be plumbed from there over the overflow back into the tank.

a bulkhead is a fitting that will have a gasket and allows you to seal the holes in the tank while also allowing you to connect the plumbing to the tank. just make sure you measure the holes to get the proper size bulkhead fittings.

If I where you. I would move you post to DIY, Equipment and Lighting forum.
There are alot of plumping experts there. And give you great advice there.
Here's the basic overview of the tank you have.
The tank circulates and overflows into the drain. Then gravity takes over and flows into the sump, via tubing or pipe. The water travels through the sump and gets pumped back into the tank via the return line via tubing or pipe. The return line goes back to the top of the tank. In my experience typical overflow holes is 1" and the return holes is 3/4 inch.
The information/questions will be more advanced as things progress. Just ask.
