    Alright. So I'm looking over the z101 manual, and the replenishments are given as "mL/m 35mm"—I'm reading that as "milliliters per meter per 35mm roll." The replenishment rate section, however, gives different values in mL per roll. It also doesn't give another value for the bleach—it only says something about the importance of aerating and compensating for developer contamination in the bleach (wouldn't I do a stop in 100dF water to prevent that?).

    I'm going to presume that I need to replenish at about ~4mL each time I process a roll. I'll aerate the bleach by pouring it from container to container for a minute every couple rolls. Is that right?

    (I should've stuck to the simple kits…but I've gotta learn sometime. lol)

    Update: I understand now… it's "milliliters per meter of 35mm film." How silly of me. I understand now. Even still, I'm worried that there simply isn't enough bleach here at all. I'm not supposed to dilute this at all?
