I'd start with 5 secs agitation every minute as 1 inversion is not enough.
[/QUOTE]My fixing times - I found that longer times are needed to completely wash away the magenta colored dyes with Delta 100 & 400 films (and also TMax films which I do not use now). Even with fresh fixer and rigorous agitation I find that 5 minutes will leave a magenta base on the films.[/QUOTE]
That really surprises me. How often do you agitate in the fixer?
A lot of films have a color to it even after 5 mins of fixing. Plus x is blue-ish, tri-x is purplish and with tmax there's barely any color left, if any, after 5 mins fixing. So I'd look at your agitation as a possible culprit there.
