how to support plumbing

[jacksonpt]

I'm going to be filling my tank for a leak test this weekend, but I want to support the plumbing a bit so there is less stress/weight on the glass. Any tips on the best way to do that?

Drain plumbing is 1.5" spa flex.
Return plumbing is 1.5" pvc.

Thanks.

there are tons of different ways to do this any way to get a pic I can tell you the best way

These work well, from home depot or lowes.

Thanks... but I need to support vertical plumbing... virtually no horizontal run on my setup.

I've changed a few things since this pic was taken, but the idea remains the same.

I still have the 1.5" spa flex for my drain lines (as pictured). Sump and pump are still in the same location. I'm now using a 1.5" Y fitting rather than the T, and 1.5" rigid PVC for the vertical run.

You can use split ring hangers, all thread and the associated mounting plates. I have some pics on page 3 of my build thread for examples: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1831347&page=3

Any type of pipe clamping system should work for you. Most are meant to support either vertical of horizontal. You could screw them into the back of your stand.

Yep those are the ones I was thinking of Haffs09

those look like they'll work. any vibration concern?

Click clamps - plastic, @ a good pipe supply co.

I would just go get a couple of the split rings they are easy and work perfect
