I bought a Cadlight Mini II 34G from Craigslist. The tank does not have any plumbing. I need help to build a return pump and plumbing.
My list as follow
1) Eheim 2000 Compact 500GPH
2) 3/4'' plastic hose
4) 90 degree insert elbow fitting
5) 3/4'' bulkhead
6) 3/4'' Ball socket connector (Lock-Line)
7) 3/4'' Y fitting
8) One or two 6'' flexible Tube
9) Flare Nozzle 3/4'' to 3''
SO I am not sure if flare 3'' Nozzle is the best or not. I have other alternatives like
Ball Socket Round Nozzle 1/2'' or 3/4''
Ball Socket Flare Nozzle 1/2'' to 1-1/4''
and etc..
I am planning to have somethink like in image with one arm is shorter than other.

It will be my first experience with loc lines. Do I need any special tool to connect them to each other or I can handle it at home.
I would like to hear your suggestions and experiences with loc-lines.
Thanks,
