If you don’t know IM tanks have ready made plumbing which is great but the design of the plumbing has the sump sitting in the middle of the stand. I would like to alter the prefab piping to where I can position the sump far left or far right.

If anyone has done this please send me a DM and or if anyone has some pointers in getting it altered please feel free to message me thank you
 
I am considering doing this soncurious what you find out. Looks like you gotta just cut/extend the horizontal piping.
 
The pipes are all in standard US pipe size. It's very possible. I am considering this for mines. If you would like to work on this together i can help.

In this case, you can easily move things around!

It’s just a matter of extra elbows and pipe lengths, assuming the factory IM plumbing on each specific tank doesn’t paint you into a corner with multiple cemented fittings abutting one-another…
