Don't forget some unions!

Only my return plumbing is glued(pressure). Full siphon and emergency that have no pressure, are just fitted. My bulkheads are screw in type. If I had slip bulkheads, I would glue them regardless of which pipe it was.

Do not glue anything in the overflow, friction fit is fine. You want to be able to pull all the pipes out of the overflow for cleaning or fish catching.
