Return PVC Plumbing..??

I want to replace my two j-pipe returns with PVC piping that will also wrap around the sides of the tank making a front outlet and rear tank outlet for each side. My SCWD would direct flow from each side. Does anyone have any pics of there return piping or any threads that would give me ideas..?? Thanks in advance.

There are plenty of threads that talk about a "Calfo style manifold" but I did find a few pictures that gives you an idea of what your looking for. You would just have to split it for your SCWD.
