Im not sure what, if any, the long term effects of the soil and surrounding area could be, but as a rule every action has some sort of reaction or consequence whether good or bad. It wont cost you a dime to give them a call and see what they give you for a solution. It may save you some grief down the road. If you do call them please post what they say. I'd like to know just for the record too.

So I gave them a call today and they suggested installing a dry well with some kind of specialized rock in the well. That specific rock will absorb all the the crap . It would be approx 6'-8' deep to prevent it from freezing during winter. Either way, there is a solution to my scenario which Im glad to see

do you have any ditches infront of your house or out back you could dump it? even with the well it might still leak out into the soil, I would suggest dumping it down a ditch or out back where you wont see any negative impact, installing a well will just take away $$$ from corals
