Wow, very creative. Thank you for sharing
My creativity is not working so well, I have to change up a few things tonight due to I'm having problems with my 1" drains not keeping up with my pumps. The bends in the pipes are too tight and slowing down my flow.

This thread is perfectly timed, and _so_ filled with ideas and resources!

Thanks to each of you for sharing your triumphs and tribulations, your creative and practical plumbing.

Looking good, I wish I had that much fall in my drain lines, so I could have stuck with all PVC lines. Looks so much cleaner. All my lines are under the tank, so i have a lot less decline in transition.

Thank you!
I built that stand @ 40" in height, mostly for viewing reasons but also for plumbing and equipment space purposes.

I'll throw mine in there...DCT-6000 is the return pump. This is before i put on water which is why the ball valves are in the complete wrong position lol...

Nice work fellas. One thing that really bugs me is when I see a set up where there's blue pvc glue running down all the pipes.
