1)- buy a fiber wrapped tank.
2)- go to a gym
3)- work out
4)- Deal with it.

The egg is one of the lightest hoppers out there, but its unbalanced.

I think its funny cause you have the same Ion set up as my friend (mr. .com) and I have and A-5 w/ the stuff in my sig.  He too complains about the weight and mine is lighter.  Halos are lighter than eggys arent they?  try that or get the carbon fiber tank.  Thats pretty much all you can do now.

fiber wraped tank is the only thing that will save you on weight.

OR, get a +1 harness and a remote and the weight will be on your back instead of in your hands
