Samigon Stainless Steel Tank with Plastic Lid and Rod for 4x35mm or 2x120 Reels

It does not matter either way if you leave it in or take it out.

Yes this tank is compatible with the Hewes 120 Stainless Steel Developing Reels.

All stainless steel developing reels will fit in the Samigon Stainless Steel Tank with Plastic Lid and Rod for 4x35mm or 2x120 Reels.

Reliable product I own several, it has a dunking rod if you like. It takes me 15-20seconds to fill the tank.

For 120, my practice has been 400ml per reel. Never had a problem with that. I don't know offhand what it would be for per 135 reel, but I suspect it'll be close to half of the 120, maybe just a tiny bit more just because to my eye two 135 reels stand a little bit higher than one 120 reel. Hope this helps. This is a good tank overall. Only time I get into trouble is if I don't make extra sure that the plastic lid is seated firmly all the way down. When I fail to do so, I sometimes get some chemistry leaking out during inversions. Annoying, but just something to look out for.

Hello, Paterson wheels will NOT fit this ( these ) tanks as they are larger in diameter.

It does not come with reels. You must buy them separate. (Also, I would stay away from the samigon reels. They're junk.) the tank is good quality though.
