Wouldn't be the worst idea to build some little supports that come out off the back of your stand to support the weight of the plumbing when it's full of water. Otherwise over time the lopsided load will pinch the seals in the bulkheads and you would get leaking. Just my 2 cents Exciting times though!

Yes we do have a support snuck in there if you look closely one of those pipes is not like the others
