hello, just thought id post some pics of the plumbing i did today, not 100% done, still waiting on my new bulkheads and pump so i can plumb the return but this will give you the basics on how it is going to drain. i had to plumb it behind the tank because my skimmer wont fit to be accessible underneath. let me know what you think so far. also i am pumbing my returns with acrylic 3/4" flex tubing.

Looks good, but I'd use some pvc pipe support clamps so the weight isn't on the bulkheads and the bottom of the tank

Are you running three drains in, or is that two "angled" drains and the 90* with the valve the start of the return..??

the valve is to control a slow drain into the fuge, i made the 2 additional drains to make for better flow, i originally had just the ball valve and one other drain but thought i would have too much restriction so i put another drain on. the 2 angled drains are running to the skimmer bay.
