Looking for inspiration to permanently plumb my AWC tubing from my DOS pump. Looking for pictures of:

How you ran/secured your tubing to the wall, stand, etc?
How you ran/secured your tubing to the bottom of Saltwater reservoir?
How you ran/secured your tubing in/out of the sump?

I bought a DOS pump this week and started running the tubing. It's functional but now I want to clean it up. Finding pictures online of clean setups has proven difficult to find. Let's see what ya got!

Hey there,
I thought I’d share my configuration of this. I have 2 50g holding tanks in the garage, which hold 1 for RODI and 1 for mixed sea water. The one on the left has the sea water and connects to the DOS above it which then runs up into the attic and down the wall where my tank is, and then into the sump. The drain line comes out of the sump, through the attic again, and then drains into the laundry room washing machine drain.

The blue RODI line seen in the sump is the one coming from the DOS in the garage, providing fresh sea water.

what did you do for your penetrations coming out of the wall for the awc piping behind your tank? I am currently getting knocking out some prep work for a new build, and routing some tubing for a future AWC setup sounds like a better idea now while I have access to the wall rather than after I put a 4’ tank in front of it. I am running a dedicated 20 amp circuit to a couple outlets this weekend so tempted thinking of slapping something in for this as well.
 
I have my water change station in the basement. Automaticity keeps RODI full, automaticity tops off tank with the RODi, and I hit a switch and change 10% of the saltwater weekly. Pumps take old saltwater out and push saltwater up one floor to my living room.
