Film wash tank

I have had a few instances of my wash water hose falling out of my lo tech film washing tank (a 2liter bottle with the top cut off and 3 small holes drilled into the bottom of it) and coming back into the darkroom to find the film dying instead of washing. So I decided to build this. It will hold 2 120 reels or 4 35mm reels and they sit below the water line. Of course after I get it all done, I realize I could have done it different and had it not cost as much. Oh well. Tank 2 is in the process of being built. I can then daisy chain them and stagger my film washing. The"dirtier"film will go in the second tank and the first film's water won't be contaminated by the second film.
