No outlet tube and connections, no intake tube, and worthless instructions

I'm like many of the others. The instructions are worthless, but my main gripe is it's not ready to plug and play. You have to spend another $50 or so for the parts they don't include. The tubing for the input, output to the pond, and sludge drain. You can probably use the same size tubing for the intake and the sludge drain, but then you have to buy another size for the output back to the pond, or use pvc elbows, tubes, glue, and all of that is before you can even test it to see if it works. I ordered the 1 1/2" tubing from Amazon before I realized I needed the output 3" either tubing or pvc fittings and tubes. So now a week later as I will have to schedule a trip to the hardware store, it's still not running. When I buy a filter, I don't mind the normal hook up, but expect all of the needed parts and equipment to be there along with instructions that are understandable for installation. Very disappointing for this kind of money. Get a 5 year old for the instructions and pictures. They can do better.
