I develop Acros in my JOBO, Xtol 1:1 for 6-1/2 min @ 70° and get outstanding negatives. I develop Tri-X the same. I use Tetenal Protectan instead of a floating lid. It really works great. I've been using Protectan forever and have never been disappointed. And a single can of it seems to run forever as well. So the price isn't a factor. I found 2 liters of Xtol in a 5 liter plastic bottle, it was hiding under my sink... The 5 liter was mixed in January (I always write the date on the bottle.) I ran a test roll through it two weeks ago and it is still perfect.
