Im starting my second salt water tank and i just purchased (Eshopps AEO11005 Overflow Boxes Pf-800) link to it on amazon is on the top. the last tank i had had a similar overflow but the guy i bought it from had the connections all done. now i bought this thing and it brings ZERO instructions and no website online points me to what to purchase.

i want to connect that to flexible tubing were on earth do i buy the correct size connections and which ones?

i have no LFS near me so online is all i can do. please help and thanks!

Amazon isn't a great source for this hobby. Bulk Reef Supply and Marine Depot are both good choices and I imagine there are others but I only have experience with these two.

Eshopps website says it has a 1" bulkhead so you need 1" tubing to glue into the bulkhead and your sump probably has a 1" bulkhead too.

I'd imagine it's a 1" slip bulkhead (maybe threaded). Either way Home Depot or your local hardware store should have the plumbing parts you need. Take the bulkhead and tubing you want to use with you and they'll help you buy what you need.

It's a 1" threaded bulkhead, but you can push a flex hose onto it, no problem.

You can get the flex hose at Spa/Hot Tub suppliers (maybe even Lowes or Home Depot) or you can order them from pet supply websites like Doctors Foster & Smith:
