Found a way to do round bucket with 2"pipe using toilette tank gaskets. Will do that to keep the larger return pipes.

If financially you cant afford 2 totes id wait till you can tbh.
I say this as ive tried to cut corners in this game before ( and spent well in excess of 15k on equipment, maybe 20k tbh ) qnd cutting corners creates issues. You end up buying twice and having to pay to repair water damage esp in hydro.

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

Not sure if this is "PC" but found this yesterday and even found a better coupling to use. I will post pics as well as the future layout in awhile.

So once I got my pump installed realized with the feed bucket not centered I couldn't get equal lengths on the two waterfall nozzles. but I don't think it will have a huge impact on flow rate or cooling temps as its a very short difference. May not be as aesthetic as I would like but it is what it is.
