Steve Warren		Replacing fixer Hi Guys, I was doing some at home developing tonight and noticed that there was a dark sediment settling to the bottom of my fixer. Does anyone know what this is and if it means it's time to change it? Also, how long should I re-use fixer and stop bath before refereshing it? Thanks, Steve To love this question, log in above 0 October 09, 2005

Never used stop bath, so I can't say how to go about checking that. To love this comment, log in above 0 October 09, 2005

Steve Warren		Thanks. I think it was silver stuff from the film. I'll get a bottle of hypo to check it out. Out of curiosity, how did you develop with no stop bath? To love this comment, log in above 0 October 10, 2005
