Plumbing design question...

[Nwest]

So with the tank rebuild I am wanting to take my time and do it best I can, not just quickly to get it up. I am having a little issue trying to get the plumbing to look good and be functional. I am running one main return pump and want to have a manifold to feed frag tank, uv sterilizer, and reactor PLUS fee the two returns for the tank. Would you do the manifold first then to the two returns?

Anyone have any photos of their manifolds or plumbing under the tank?

Id T off the return, I did this with my previous tank, worked well.

I just finished this plumbing last week or so. This include a manifold to power ATS, carbon reactor, and a self cleaning return.

It works real well. Just like normal schedule 40 PVC. I say you will probably need 2 to 3- 46 inch tubing. I used a little over 2 of the 1 inch tubing up. Make sure you plan unions in your plumbing. This make it so much easier if you need or decide to mod your plumbing later.
