are you brewing in the tank?
Based on 16 years and 450 batches, no impact whatsoever.

Seriously though, even if you are dumping your trub down the toilet, I don't think it would have any negative effects.

I wouldn't dump any pbw or starsan into the septic, but yeah, trub wouldn't be a problem.

If you're worried, just compost everything.
Not a problem, done it hundreds of times. It's such a small volume compared to the volume of the septic that it makes no difference.
Everyone,
Thanks for the detailed information! That's what I enjoy so much about the homebrewtalk.com community. I can search google and waste hours trying to sift through the over abundance of information or I can ask someone on homebrewtalk.com and get a detailed, informative and knowledgeable answer. Thanks so much.

Been dumping mine for 11 years now.
When we refinanced a few years ago they required that it had to be pumped out. We dug out the cover, removed the cap, the guy shone the flashlight and you could see the bottom of the grey water side. He said was the cleanest system he had seen no need to pump
