i have gotten together just about all the parts i need except the bulkheads and a few pvc pieces. i was wondering about the sterilite container which is a clearview 66qt 23 1/2"L x 16 1/4"W x 12 1/4"H and it flexes a good bit when filled completely with water. im probibly gonna have a piece of 3/4inch plywood on one long side to support a emporer 400 i will be putting and i will put another on the opposide side and somehow tie the two in together would this kep the sides from buldging or would it just spred the pressure to another area since just the top few inces of the containe will be agains t the plywood. and a question about the line from the return pump. how do most people secure it to keep the weight of the pipe off the pump and also is a piece of flex tubing necessary on the begining of the return line. the return pump is a mag 7 thanks for any help
