Response to Storage containers for developer, stop bath, fixer

For developers glass is a good idea, since plastic is permeable for air and will degrade developer even if the container is filled to the top. In addition most plastics are porous and the containers are hard to get rid off what was in them before. Careful washing is advised and I would not put developer in a container that contained bleach before. In addition to glass I can highly recommend to add Tetenal Protectan, a gass that will form a buffer between the solution and air and will drastically improve the lifespan. Fixer and stopbath are uncritical to keep in plastic and reused containers seem fine.
