I feel better about what I did with my tank after reading this. That was almost my exact same process recently. I propped up the critical points with metal shims to level and then filled everything in to the forms with self leveling.
I used some heavy duty double sided tape to secure the forms to the floor (cement) and contain the leveling cement as much as possible.
I also ran a layer of duct tape on the inside of the forms prior to pouring to help them release easier from the cement.
Capped everything off with the trimwork to hide the ugly.
