Try T-Max diluted 1:7 which gives you more control
over your times esp. in rotary processing. Also, if
you are using smaller volumes of chemistry because of
the tubes, then a double fix works well for that @ 2.5
mins. ea. using rapid fixer.
Kodak now tells me that a 6 minute fix is OK for
their films w/rapid fixer so you could go to 3 mins.
ea., according to them.
