For the drain, I used a small eheim 1046 hobby pump and ran that to a drain adapter fitted with a 1/4" quick connect.
On the drain side I used a standard drain adapter made for hooking up a dishwasher, a standard dishwasher compression adapter and I jammed a watts 1/4" quick connect adapter in one end. I sealed the watts adapter threads with silicone just to make sure the compression clamp would get a tight seal. So far so good, no leaks.
The tank side of the wall had a coax drop and a wall plate. There was a mud ring but no box on the tank side so it was a straight easy shot to the drywall on the laundry room side. The tank side is painted so I just loosened the wall plate and didn't have to make a hole on that side. On the laundry room side of the wall, I drilled a small hole just big enough for the two 1/4" tubes to pass through.
I thought the wife was going to be mad but I stuck the laundry cart in front of those tubes. We'll differ her anger to a later point in time.
