should put something like this in the tank. I do put bacteria in the
tank monthly and it works great as far as disolving the solids.

Any advice or experience with this would be appreciated.
Be more concerned about the Roots in your sewer lines/pipes since it is a smaller space that could be fully encumbered. Many chemicals are available to safely address roots in a plumbing system. But regular inspection and service with a Power Cable and Cutter set, regardless of actual drainage problems will guard against major problems later.
