Ellie P. ★★★★★

Finally, a tank where the reels load smoothly every time without fighting the film. The universal design handles 120 and 135 with zero hassle, and the chemical flow is so even that my negatives come out streak-free. This thing has made me look forward to developing night after night.

Joseph J. ★★★★★

I’ve been developing 35mm at home for years and this tank finally cut my processing time down—the uni-tank design let me pour chemicals in and out without unscrewing the lid, and it didn’t leak a drop. The build feels solid enough to last decades, which is exactly what I wanted from a piece of gear

Evelyn ★★★★★

The lid seals tight enough that I stopped worrying about leaks mid-rotation, and the built-in drain spout made pouring out chemicals way less messy than my old setup. It's the first tank where I actually trust the agitation without checking every thirty seconds.
