When did the OP ever mention 3 gallon tanks in his three postings?

 

 

 

He mentioned one minute agitation interval, which the Tri-X data sheet

recommends for large (3 gallon) tanks.

 

He didn't say why he was using one minute agitation intervals, though.

Even if he didn't, others might want to know what "large tank" means.

I'm sorry, you're quite right.  I got a little confused.

But yes, I was wondering where the OP got the idea of 1 minute interval for small tanks

From every published data sheet in the universe for Tri-X and D76.

Not from this one - screenshot of Kodak Alaris's PDF datasheet for Tri-X - 

Read the small print below the table!

Correct.  I have already recanted.

I had that problem years ago and winded wasting a lot of film and paper. The problem was with my "trusty" light-meter that was under-exposing the film by 2 stops. Once I got the light meter calibrated, the problem was resolved.
