I've built an ebb and flow out of storage totes, and I haven't been able to find a drain that won't leave standing water in the tubs. (that's a huge no-no) The solution is small drainage holes poked right through the plastic that drip back into the res. Trick is to not put too many holes so that it's draining quicker than the pump is filling it. You can also attach whatever you want with caulk to guide the dripping water if it gets messy.
You're overflow pipe is a different story though, that is attached the same way as your flood fitting so basically you have 2 of the same pvc fittings. 2 pvc pipes coming up, one of them floods the tub, the other one drains it when it reaches your pre-determined flood level (four, five, six inches, however long the pipe is will determine your flood depth). Without an overflow pipe, your table will ...overflow.
I can take pics if you need a visual, there's so much room to play with these configurations that sometimes it's difficult to see how they all come together
edit: it's also a good idea to take measurements and figure out
exactly how many gallons your flood will be to help you in selecting a reservoir.
