RidEx for Black & Gray Tanks
I've noticed a lot of holding tank (Black & Grey) threads over the last few months. RidEx is about the best and safest thing in the world for cleaning the tanks and sensors. It is campground friendly...

I don't bother using RidEx. What works to keep the solids dissolved for me is to squirt some Dawn hand dish detergent in the black tank. If it removes grease from a pan, it will do it to gunk floating in the black tank.
I'm cheap. I don't want to throw money down the toilet (literally), so I just use something inexpensive.
Now, if I'm dumping into a septic system, for the sake of the system, I'd toss the bacteria cakes in, but if I'm dumping into a town sewer, I'll save the $7-$20.
Oh, I use plenty of water as well. I like dumping the tank, filling it up again, then dumping again. That way it is as clean as possible for the road. I also add some hand dish soap and about a gallon of water as an insurance against dried up pooprock.
