Help with plumbing inventory

Ok, so I'm finally getting into plumbing my sump. I need help with an inventory list before I go to HD. My background on the sump is it goes skimmer section, bubble trap, return, refugium. My return is a RIO 1700 (600 gph). So far I have

1" Flex PVC
1 Tee Valve (for drain to skimmer and refugium sections)
2 1" Ball Valves (1 Drain, 1 Return)
PVC Glue

What else will I need? I guess I'm kind of lost at this point. Thanks.
 
You might want to incorporate some Unions. These will allow you to dis-assemble your plumbing in strategic locations should you ever need to do any maintenance/cleaning of the plumbing without breaking the glued joints.
 
I never see flex pvc at my home depot. Im not sure if they carry it.
Also I dont know if PVC glue implies you are getting glue and primer. You need both.

If you get overwelmed, go to the sprinkler section. There you will find hose adapters. Potentially you could do it all in hose.
