its a flow box that was installed by the previous ownerWhat is inside the tank for the drains? Assuming the drains are full siphon, secondary, emergency.
Those ball valve will make it hard to fine tune your full siphon drain
The end of the full siphon drain should be submerged about an inch
I would add some flex at the pump to reduce trasmiting vibration from your pump

awesome so ill extend those pipes and lower the sock mounts deeper, add a rubber line from the pump for less vibration aswell, as for the horizontal lines what you recommend to add for support?Looking good. My two cents; support horizontal runs. The torque that is transmitted back to the bulkhead/glass has the potential of putting to much pressure on the glass. As mentioned, drain lines should be submerged into the water. I always leave this last pipe unglued so that it can be removed to take the sock out. If you've already glued that pipe, simply use a coupling (unglued) with additional pipe to extend the pipe below the waterline in the sock.

just a typical flow box 3 pipes going down to the sump with hoses for the water to flow into then down the pipes into the sumpWhat is inside the box?

man theres that much pressure from the pump that itll crack it?I know someone who cracked the glass on 200+ gallon tank by using all rigid PVC Pipe. So if the pipe is a short run, can be bumped or flexed, put some hoses on the plumbing.
awesome thanks dude ill go get some tonight and fix thisUse whatever product best fits your application. Examples would be plastic pipe strapping, rigid pipe straps, pipe hangers, wood brace....whatever you can figure out to support the pipe.
Just use the plastic versions of hangers.....avoid the metal ones.
