I feel for your problem, bro.
No - - - do not add the chemicals to your 2nd tank. You need to add the chemicals directly into your D-Box. This means modifying the exit pipe & exit baffle. See the photos I have provided on my own septic tank. Now is a good time to add risers to the input & output side of your tanks, and to add a riser to your D-Box to make maintenance easy. See "Photo of the new Exit Pipe."

Get prepared to blast the lateral pipes with high pressure water, if necessary.
As I am finding out, once the field clogs up, there are more problems to come. I have already established that if a new field is required, it should be done using the Infiltrators:

And every D-Box must have a riser.
This is the last resort fix.
Some additional steps to do now: Filter water from your washing machine to capture lint. Add a gray water system for your washing machine, sinks & showers.
Adding a Grey water System
===========================
This is required to get the washing machine, sinks, showers, dishwasher & water softener out of the septic field. All of these send sodium to the leach field which results in “Hardpan” clogging of the leach field. Hardpan can be the primary reason for clogged up leach fields according to some experts.
