    It's smooth, not threaded and about 1.25 inches.

    Purchased this 8.9 gallon Ada from another nano reefer. I want to hook up a sump to it and it has already been drilled. I need to fit the outflow part from the tank and I attached photos, what do I need to look for at the Home Depot to fit a hose to it?

    This is the outlet attached to the bulk fitting inside the overflow.

    Looks like it's a socket fitting. A side shot of it would help.

    If so, you'll need to get a socket x thread adpater and then a hose barb that matches your tubing size. You'll need to glue the socket x thread adapter into that fitting on your tank. Make sure to use the Rain-R-Shine PVC cement.
