keeping overflow weight off tank

[Aadler]

How do YOU keep most of the overflow weight off the back of your tank? Just prop up the PVC at the bottom or is there some other ideas out there? (i am paranoid i am going to crack the back of my tank. Screwing in the union was all i could bare.

I had a 1 1/2" pvc drain pipe which connected to a bulk head in the back of my tank and the weight of the pvc just cracked and broke my tank after 2 months. The water was everywhere and I lost everything. I even cut my foot on the glass.

Just kidding, getting you more paraniod lol. I have 2 pvc pipes connected to bulkheads and the weight of the pvc never effected the tank any.
