Also don't put other items down the toilet except TP. Doesn't matter how many plys it contains.
Even with Rid-X you should be periodically pumping your tank. While Rid-X will help keep the tank healthy it doesn't help stop the build up of sludge at the bottom of the Tank.... eventually to much will build up, and your tank will have to get pumped or worse you will have to replace it....
