No, but since the inlet coming into the tank is hanging in mid air inches above the effluent, would that be the current issue? If water won't drain out of the downstairs toilets and sinks, but the end of the pipe in the tank is hanging in mid air, and we even tried flushing when the lid was off, but nothing came out but a trickle.

I wish I had something larger that I could run up the main pipe from the septic side to see if I ran into anything, but I wouldn't want to push anything farther up the pipes either.
