So I got offered this tank for my 125. It’s a 4ft acrylic. The problem is, it’s got a crazy set up for plumbing. I have no idea what to do with it other than plug off most of the fittings. Help? If I could do something cool and plumb it how it was meant to be then I’d be all for it.

Looks like the bottom two were going to the pump intake.  Pump puts water to this

each port from that gets plumbed to one of the bulkheads.  A motor spins and sends water out of different ports.  Pricey but awesome water movement.  My big plywood build will use one

Holy cow, $549 for a pump?? No thanks. I do have a buddy that works at a machine shop that specializes in hydraulics. Maybe I could get something cheaper and better? Hmmmm

Haha, that doesn't even include the pump!  Someone could machine one if they knew what they were doing and how to seal the chambers from each other when it actuated.
