Hamlet,
Yes, that is a good plan. However I have discovered that you need to add a bacteria charge and a growing medium for the new bacteria. The bacteria found in human waste is allegedly not enough to eat up the sludge. I'm using a dozen fluffy paint rollers and this Facultative bacteria charge:

I remain very skeptical of aerating a standard septic tank after my disaster using an aerator in my single chamber tank. As of now, I think your aerator will just send ALL of your sludge into the next chamber and out to your septic field. Keep us informed.
See this link: I suspect this is true, what they say about add in aerators:

In other words, they say that aeration is a disaster for any standard septic tank. You need a tank that is designed for aeration for it to work, such as this tank:

I will know for sure before sometime in August. I want to give aeration every chance to succeed before I agree with the saberseptic article & scrap my aerator.
Yes, you can add photos, sellect the fck or tinymce editors.
