I gotta' agree with advice stated. Drain as much as possible. You're dealing with "big time" weight ! Hammering shims in without lifting runs a risk of "snagging" the carpet, pushing it back if it rips. Then the shim serves little purpose, your dads ****ed off 'cause he thoght it was all right...
Serves ya' right for gettin' such a big tank...(I'm just jealous, that's all)
Perhaps go "borrow" a bunch of your neighbours plastic garbage cans in the middle of the night for holding water. Line them with garbage bags to "keep it clean". Turn the bags inside out as I've heard some bags are "dusted" with a talcum like substance so they open easier ?
