I have the 75g Marineland, and yes i had a hard time with the fittings too, because the overflow kit said to use a 1" drain and 3/4" return. The thing they didnt mention is that the bulkheads are both 1-1/4", so i had to buy a reducer for the drain, and two reducers for the return. so it kinda went like this...

drain- 1-1/4"- 1"

Return- 1-1/4"- 1"- 3/4"
