That's alot of elbows lol... if you need help bending pvc to eliminate a lot of them let me know.... Its not awfull. Basically each drain has an elbow to turn into the stand, then an elbow to turn to go to the sump, then an elbow to turn down to the sump. Then each return has an elbow when it comes out of the tank, an elbow to attach the pump and an elbow to come out of the stand. Ill try to draw it but i cant draw well. I appteciate the offer though. I didnt even know that was possible. I would like to learn sometime |

Well, hard plumbing is a bit more difficult than i anticipated, especially when trying to figure out where to drill holes in the stand, but im slowly working through it.  |

Me either! I thought i would have it plumbed last night and be ready for a leak test tomorrow, but i gave up after 5 hours. I think im through the worst of it. That section of overflow was a lot of measuring and cutting and gluing. The bushings in the bulkheads too much play but after some research it sounds like this is common so they just got an extra amount of glue. They look all sealed well. Plus the cheap hole saw i had was not a fan of Oak plywood. Now its just a matter setting the sump in the stand and plumbing to it.
