In need of a new tank, found this one local to me. It’s acrulix, with the holes at the bottoms like pictures, how can I reasonably plum this into the sump? Other than just having pvc pipes standing in the tank?

Did you already purchase this tank?
 
That tank looks kinda sketch to be honest.. that euro is very small and appears to have sharp corners so that’s the first place it would let go..
 
some more:
For a non-permanent fix, you could use a bulkhead fitting to plug the hole.

For a permanent fix, you would want to use Weld-on acrylic cement to attach a larger sheet of acrylic to cover the hole. I would get a piece of acrylic at least 2" larger than the hole in every direction, but bigger would be even better. So that the bottom of your tank is flat, I would attach it on the inside of the aquarium and not underneath.

Check this link out for more tips: http://www.tapplastics.com/info/adhesives.php

If you have a tap plastics in your area, I would go in and talk to them about the best way to go about sealing the hole (if you want a permanent fix). They sell scrap pieces for really cheap and you can practice on those before working on your tank because once the weld-on sets, there is no going back...it's there for good.
