No i dont think u need a tank. I wud dig a pit and line it w landscape fabric run ur pipe to it and fill it w 3/4 minus or larger stone. Assuming u have good drainage where u r i think a 3 or 4 ft cubed pit wud be good.

Haha, I only got about 10' today and started to hit harder ground.
So tomorrow I go rent a Ditch Witch and finish this ditch and go ahead and dig my septic/sewer line.

Just do it on a smaller scale, instead of half a 4' pipe , I would use a 4" pipe cut in half and just lay it on the ground floor . Then back fill.

That's what is coming off of the tank itself, those are the leach lines. There's 200' of it I had to add.

I bought the house with a new Addition added on and they didn't upsize when they added a master bath and laundry room.
That's what is called for by code now, no more ditch with rock in it.
That's what my old lines are.
