I use two 8 roll 2 liter tanks simultaneously and I will roll them for agataion
once per minute on my Wetsink.
I tape the plastic tops down with the cheapest 1.5 inch masking tape.
They have never come off. Barely leak.
I keep some residual developer in it's beaker in case i think there has been
sufficient leakage as i cant see liquid when i peak throght the top little lid.
But this is seldom the case.
If  you're a big boy you should be a man and get the 8 reeler!!
Then shoot like crazy and run the whole thing!
