It was a success. A few elbows, 1 Tee, two slip/thread connectors, 2
threaded to 5/8" barb connectors, 1 cap, a few small pieces of pipe. Went
together easy, and cheap. Also incorporated a small ball valve that can
shunt the flow either to the spray bar or to the bio-wheel, in hindsight I
could have left it out, or placed it in the section before it comes into the
tank. Turns out that the flow is balanced just right between the spray bar
and wheel, so it might have been better used to control over-all flow
instead. But the whole thing was cheap enough I could replace that part of
it.
I cemented just the U shaped section that brings water into the tank, the
spray bar and the valve/tee section are press fitted as suggested, water
tight and strong.

Its only been three days now, but already I really, really like the XP-2
filter.

This is one of the many things I like about the fishkeeping hobby -
almost if not all parts are interchangeable and compatible. Sounds like
you're going to have awesome filtration in this (your) tank! Later!!
