We have two toilets in the house one toilet flushes great and the other one barely flushes at all!! I have tried snake, liquid plumber and a whole lot of plunging but it is an oval shaped toilet so plunging does not work well. But anyways we are on a septic system and i cant get the stupid toilet to flush....any ideas???

Done.

Can you tell us more specifically what's happening? Water doesn't go into the bowl from the tank? Water doesn't drain out of the bowl? Where is this stool in the house, lowest level?

well the toilet bowel starts to fill up with water as if it is going to flush but then it stops and the bowel fill almost completly to the top and almost overflows...
What do you mean stool??

Stool = toilet. Sounds like you have a clog.

Chemicals won't do much but kill the enzymes in your septic tank, so limit their use. If you have small children, it is likely a morphin ranger is stuck in one of the pipes. They are the worst, especially when they start to unfold in the pipes. I think your best bet is to pull the upper most toilet and either rent an auger or have a pro clear the pipes.
