There is a big difference between normal use of a homes facilities and dumping a tank.

The speed of entry is the culprit more than the overall volume. You really do not want wave action in an already fully utilized septic tank. A wave can float the solids over the baffles and into the distribution box.
I am not saying that the OP cannot do what he is proposing,just trying to make him aware of a possible pitfall.
