Ok, here's the news.. the good, the bad, and ther ugly....

Good: makeshift bulkheads seem to work great, with no leaks! Yay!

Bad: Sterilie got a crack from the water weight in the lip on the top.. once
the lid is secured on, I think it'll reinforce it fine.

Ugly: the water flow in exceeds the waterflow out, so I'm getting overflow..
only options I can think of is trying a larger output fitting, adding a
second fitting the size I currently have. I'm using the largest hose my
Lowe's carries, so I'll need to also rig up a outflow pipe or hose to the
pond.

I could use the toilet flanges I got, but I'm still not happy with the wax
seals on them. I'm going to see if there are some 2: fittings that might
work out in the electrical conduit section, or the plumbing section at
Lowe's. I'll need to see if I can use something that will still accept that
makeshift gasket from the web page article.
