pvc clamps

Hi guys, I am setting up a new tank and wonder what's the best way to clamp PVCs to the stand?

There is at least 4 inch spaces between the PVC pipes, I was thinking of using this kind of clamps but I don't know how to fill the spaces.

Also how to stabilize the PVCs that are over the sump, I saw people use some kind of chain but I don't know if that's stainless, any options are appreciated. thanks.

Great, can you please let me know what clamps you are using? are there any clamps that come with a spacer?

What you want are called standoff pipe clamps.

Great, thanks.
Do I need to get those standoff pipe clamps at plumbing stores or can I get them from HD or Rona? I did a quick search from HD&rona and don't seem to find anything similar.

The plumbers I work with get them from Bartle & Gibson so I'm not 100% sure you can get them from the box stores even though the copper and abs versions are fairly common.
