No, tank is not backwards, as the back side of it has less glaze on it and the hose connection wouldn't reach if reverse. I sat on it and wiggled it some more and, sure enough, the mounting bolts loosened up a lot. So that's all level now, but the tank is still leaning forward. I found some rubber shims from the old tank that fit perfectly under the new tank and that made it better. But more shimming is needed. No shims came with the new toilets.

On to the second toilet. I was all set to install the hose connection and the old hose from the wall cracked. Off to Lowe's before they closed, figured, as long as I have to shut the water to the house off, I might as well replace them both, as well as switch to 1/4 turn valves. I'll button this up after dinner. Lot of fun today.
