I have a 180 gallon tank that has built in over flows. (Reef ready type.
I filled it up to point where the water begins to over flow and the water is all going into one over flow.
Please don't tell me that the tank isnt level! Arrghh, if thats the case, how am i going to level it with the sand and water in it?!?

Um I think you know the problem here. You are going to need a level and check this out, no matter what it takes you will need to do this. In my opinion if you do not have it level then you are putting stress on the glass and you may have a large problem on your hands some day.
Check with the level the long way across, then the width way across, then on a diagnal as well.
Could be you will need to shim the stand.

If not level...Well sorry but you will need to drain that sucker and have some friends over to help you lift it if necessary, and or take the sand out if you are just starting to cycle or something. If that is the case then you can thank your lucky stars you caught it now and not much later.

Unless someone else has a suggestion on how to move it with the sand that is safe, then thats my only suggestion.
