What have you all used to support your drain pipes. I've got a 5.5 foot pipe running across my stand as it is drilled in the bottom.

can you flip the sump around and have it dump straight down in the sump? then no need for supports across the bottom of the tank

+1 I would be worried about cracking the bottom of the tank with the weight of that drain pipe.

There's two drains. So turning it around will only cut about 2 feet off the pipe. As it sits one long and one straight down and Im doing flexible tubing for return

The line goes directly under the center brace so I know I can tie it up with zip ties there but I would like something that would look better

Make your own custom pipe hanger......two tees and a length of pipe. Cut one tee in half:

If you look in Home Depot in the plumbing section they have a bunch of different pipe hangers too.
