No the female thread you measured there comes in at one and a quarter. The 1-in male side I measured for you comes in at one and a quarter. Mine is a 1-in male fitting, That means yours is a 1 inch female.

If you love the canopy, Mike @sp1187 already has a great plan he drew up in CAD. There would only be eight cuts with two different measurements to shorten the stand and use your canopy if I remember correctly. If you said pretty please I'm sure he'd share.
Just got to think about your sump height and not undercut the stand height you need.

The stand is good to go. I really like the height as a taller guy I like the room. The canopy is the problem. At 5ft height I now know how @TriggerFinger feels. I'll need a ladder to work in this tank.
If this was yours @TriggerFinger you would need scaffolding.

Returns, I went with 1" slip outside of the tank in order to use street 90's for a lower profile to the wall and 1" threaded inside the tank that immediately splits to two 1/2" loclines.
Overflow, both sides 1" slip so that I didn't have to worry about adjusting the bh if the threads didn't align in the direction the pipe was headed. Glued on the outside, press fit inside the overflow.
