Np, thats why the tank journals are good to document (i should start my own thread as well)

I think you have a few options here:
1. if you would like the tank to sit flush with the desk then you need a wood block of the same width as the overflow box and you rest the pipes against it and also you can fabricate a bracket of some sort holding each tube in place taking the possible tension off the overflow box
2. you can bracket the tubes directly to the desk if the tank comes out the length of the desk
3. I've seen people bracket the tubes against the wall which in my opinion is not advisable as maintenance is always required and not being able to move the desk is not a good option.
