Like Dave said on the link Brian provided, use a 3/4" - 1" Bulkhead fitting and 3/4" - 1" PVC pipe with adapters.

God speed and party on!

Thank you very much guys! Would it make sense to use a 1" draw pipe inside the tank, then go down to 3/4 tubing from the tank to the pump? Or should I have them the same size

That would work fine. Either or. At least 3/4"

I am soon to set up my tank and pump set up. My question is: Will the the pump draw the chemical with air in the line or is there some priming involved before it will draw?

Turn the pump on for a few seconds & then off, pull the trigger until no liquid is coming out then turn your pump on it should be primed.

I will try that. I will post pics when I'm finished with my setup. I was also thinking of doubling a line after the pump back into the tank to rotate my chemical for mixing purposes. Sort of like a residential water heater tank cleaning system. I havent seen anybody do this. What is the standard for mixing the concoction? I will also double a line before the pump that can be used to transfer water and chemicals into my tank. So I would have a tee before the pump and a tee after my pump to be used for what I just described. I'm I out of line consider designing such a system. Thanx for the input.
