Sidemount tank trim

[tical]

Hi,
I am picking up my sidemount again. I bought a sidemount bcd and I use 2 steel tanks. I am using a continous benji loop system to attach them. I use 2 right handle tanks and loop them around the tank valve knob (left and right), because I dive with the regulator opening inward.

At the back I clip them with a boltsnap to the waist D ring. The problem is that the tanks are tipping forward. The bottom of the tank falls to the front. Does somebody have any tips of solving this?
Yes I followed a sidemountcourse but its a completely other set up that I try to tweak myself.
Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks

I would reference this guide from Andy Davis. Will help address tank trim issues and how to fix them.

What BCD? Can you post a picture of yourself in the water?

I read the guide. Its really helpfull. I think I have to shorten my bolt snaps and maybe use a buttplate. Another pool session will be necessary to try it out. For the moment I don t have a picture but the moment I have one I will post it. Thans for the info
