Given the short times, the temp will be OK for the run.... you will not need more ice..... I do all my work in the early AM, when it is cool, and I can naturally expect the temp to be low..... 2 things to watch out for.... Developer exhaustion, and maximum capacity of the tanks for the processor you get..... The CPE2 is limited to 600mL. The othere CPP or CPA processors are limited to 1L. Certain developers require a minimum of solution to be not fully exhausted. Given that you could develop 5 rools of film in a 1500 series tank, which by CPE2 specs require a max of 600mL, you need to be sure your developer can be used at a 120mL per roll...TMX-RS requires 200 mL per roll at a dilution of 1:5.. so I can do only 3 rolls in a 5 roll tank using this combo..... I found this all out the hard way..... ask questions...... several of us have JOBO systems and they are great, but you need to think about things.. and not find out like we all did.... the hard way.....
