I am glad you got it figured out. I completely understand how frustrating and worrisome it can be trying to keep all of your water levels maintained.

I would recommend a auto-top off for evaporation if you don't already have one. A very handy little machine. I built mine but there are commerical ones available.

I use to have problem with water levels when I did my water changes. Now what I do is empty the auto top off bucket, fill it with the replacement water. I siphon out the water from the main tank and the auto-top dumps in the new water at the same time. I use the same size bucket so I can only remove the right amount a water. Once the water change is done, I rinse the top-off bucket and fill with clean water. This has worked very well for me. I don't have to turn off any of the pumps or valves so I don't need to re-balance the system.

It was killing me because I knew it was supposed to work, but I couldn't figure it out. Finally I got to thinking about positioning and what the screws could do for me. Then I remembered that it wasn't level because the tank wasn't... Duh. Now it seems so simple, but at the time I felt like quite the idiot.

I have been thinking about a top off system. I have to add about 1/2 gallon of water a day... Not too bad.

Sounds like you have a good method for water changes. I will definately keep that in mind. I plan on getting a 75 or a 90 Gallon in the somewhat near future. I will definately have an auto-top-off on that system.
