tank is sloping forward...

well des, you're too late i've already pulled about 20 gallons out. because i'm lazy and i need to study, i decided to sit on my floor for the next three hours siphoning water into the barrels. my dad still isn't quite with me, he was talking about lifting the tank and sliding a length of wood under the stand until he finally realized that i was only draining about 2/3 of the water volume, and that the tanks, stand, equipment, sand and rocks probably weigh 1000 lbs on their own. needless to say, we'll be shimming it. i'll post as soon as something exciting happens - preferably a level tank with all its water back in it.
