We are talking about different things. I do not mean about photographic uses of this or that, a subject that everyone going seriously into the darkroom should decide by direct knoledge *after buying a thermometer even before than the developing tank*. I was talking about the environmental impact, and yes XTOL might be effectively less harmful on the drain, but not as much as it seems only because the main developing agent is Vit-C, that's all.
