For draining the false bottom, I just stick a piece of small airline tubing into a slurpee straw and then using the spoon part against the side of the glass, just slide it down to the bottom of the tank. Start a siphon on the other end and let it all drain out. It works super well. The flow may be kind of slow because of the small diameter airline tubing, but I'll usually start a couple siphons from the bottom and it drains just that much faster.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!
