I got this tank for cheap as its the same tank i have just new just drilled. How would you plumb this?

He fave me everything he used just some 90s off the back into some reinforced vinyl tubing for the drains. The return is jut a ball valve screwed into the back. Seems simple but would like to do it right. See pictures.

Also should i have a manifold?

I would wait till you get it set where you want it and also get a sump set where you want it. Make sure there is room to get to and remove any plumbing without having to drain and move the tank if at all possible. It might be a good idea to have some flexible tubing between the tank and sump somewhere. That way normal expansion and contraction will not stress any PVC used. Make sure any valves are accessible for use as well as replacement.
