Does anybody have a formula for something that I can use to replenish Acufine?

I have the Acufine but ran out of replenisher. I'd order a can but...thought I'd ask just in case...
 
I've been using the Paul Farber Acufine substitute in my 5-quart 5x7" tanks and just replacing it when I reach the nominal capacity. It can handle in theory 160 rolls per 5 quarts of developer, increasing development time by 2% after 80 rolls.
 
Thanks David. I've been using the real thing and replenishing with acufine replenisher. I simply forgot to buy more replensher...and now, would like to avoid making a special trip (or paying postage) if possible.

I used to reuse without replenishing...but am generally too lazy to keep good records of usage and so, ended up wasting developer...or film.

well, no big rush. I guess I can wait a bot 'till my next Freestyle order.
