Trying to connect my hose to my mixing station. What's the best way? Which fittings do I need? Thank you very much in advance!

PVC pipe section off the valve to a true union fitting, then a barbed fitting.
You can then unthread the union with the barbed fitting and hose attached.
 
Thanks. I'm not sure why I was trying to make this more complicated than it needed to be.
 
If I'm not mistaken, Pythons have conventional hose connectors on them. So why not simply attach a hose adapter to that valve:

This particular one is a Lasco for Ace Hardware found HERE. They come in various configurations.
