Shouldn't be very critical; you could do a clip test to determine a fixing time, or just go with something like 5 minutes at 35-38C and call it good (for 1+4 dilution). Fixing will be fast at C41 temperatures.

If you have a pH meter or strips, you could even bring your acid rapid fixer up to pH 6.5 and have basically the same thing as 'proper' C41 fixer. Use ammonia to increase pH.

Played around with a roll back in March. I was pleasantly surprised!

I shot the Lomo version of redscale C41. ISO 50 made it low saturated orange, even blueish, ISO 200 made it pure highly saturated. I would like a film for the redscale low saturated type of shooting. Is Harman RED capable of producing this? Shooting it at ISO 50 is maybe a too much asked for it's small dynamic range?

The problem with saturation and redscale is that there just isn't much to choose from in terms of color balance, other than varying exposure. Color films are designed to give low crosstalk between the color layers. What you're asking for is the opposite. Your best bet would be something like Orwo NC500 and then spool that backwards into your camera.
