A few remarks (which hopefully help you out)
-To avoid bubbles: prewet your spooled film with water, about 1 min.
(continious agitation)
-During develop. After every agitation: gently "slam" the tank FLAT on
the table (Heard a horror story about sombody slamming a 5 reel tank
(completly filled) on an edge on the table, the tank didn't hold, and
"exploded"! YUK....). This should release any trapped bubbles.
-Agitate VERY GENTLY, I nowadays invert only 90 degree, not top-over-top,
this is causing so much turbulence around the sprocket holes, you'll see
it on your neg!
