Im semi serious semi not. I wish my tank was plumbed better. I dont have time to do it and I hate plumbing. No, I like it, I am just not as good as I wish I were at it.

My 180 gallon reef is plumbed...adequately. it has a small leak from the overflow . Its currently hard plumbed without much support. I'd like to either hard plumb it in a better way (with supports) or soft plumb it, with supports.

If there are any plumbing wizards in SoCal, interested in doing a replumb, I would greatly appreciate reaching out. I would obviously make it worth your time in money, frags, and/or beer. Or a UV sterilizer I dont use.

Replumb would entail replacing the external overflow, plumbing the 3 drains into the sump, plumbing the return pump into a manifold connected to a fuge and a dual return.

Just putting out feelers in case there is someone who or some company who reads the above and thinks "right up my alley"
 
not local to you, but as far as supporting the PVC, you can find some neat stainless steel clamps on amazon that you can secure to your stand to make sure your glass is not supporting weight of plumbing and water:

adjustable long-stem clamps: https://amzn.to/43ZF0AG

🤔 Right up my alley, but am super expensive...
Depending on where you are, I can give you a consultation. Feel free to check out my builds for inspiration.
Also I am done with single pump returns/manifolds. Two pumps now, just easier to keep your flow rates consistent.
 
My per diem and requirements for a remote job are not likely within scope of the project. They include, bacon (a o lot of it) a monogrammed bathrobe and a steady supply of Reese's eggs which as we know are out of season. I fly first class as well... don't want me grumpy when I get there and don't want to be grumpy with the warden when I get home.

So my advice would be to reach out to a local reef club for help, or maybe a trusted LFS :)
