Support for plumbing.

[scottwhitson]

I am going to try to set up my over the back closed loop system w/oceans motions 4 way this weekend and am wondering how I can support my plumbing? I have to have my pump sit to the side of the tank so the pipe will go horizontally about 3 feet then up to the top of the tank and I want to have to OM at the top of the tank to minimize plumbing and I don't have room behind the tank for it. My question: how can I support the plumbing going to the 4 way? They are kind of heavy and I don't want just the pump supporting it.
Another question how big should my intake pipe be? Could I get away with 1 pipe at 1.5"? The pump is a panworld 200S that has 1" intake and outlet. The pump is rated at 1700 GPH.
Please help me with this as this is my last task to complete my tank as far as equipment goes.

Check out Xenon's 90 gallon tank build. He did a great job with his closed loop system. You might have to do a search for it.

Some metal brackets that attach to the stand and use hose clamps to attach the PVC to the bracket.

I used plastic pipe strap from my local home depot.
