Slight over dilution of Fixer

[Alfasamiam]

While mixing up a fresh batch of fixer, I inadvertently overfilled the mix tank to the 4 liter mark (rather than the 4 quart, or 3.8 liter mark.) I am not sure if this .2 liter over dilution is something to worry about or not, but on the other hand, I would hate to waste a fresh batch of fixer. Would it be possible to slightly increase the fix time to compensate? If so what knid of an increase in the standard 5-10 min fix bath duration would be recommended? Are there differences that I should be aware of between fixing film and/or paper. (This solution will be used primarily for fixing film.)

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't matter in the least.

Not enough to even consider.

Some one still selling that stuff by the quart? Did
you start with a quart of concentrate? If you did
you're OK. You now have a very strong 1:3 fix.
That's according to instructions. Right?

I used to follow instructions. Now I misbehave
most awfully. My film fix is used 1:24 and FB paper
fix 1:36. Minimal solution volumes are used one-shot.
All solutions fresh at start. With the fixers, film and
paper, silver levels are at such a low level as to
produce archival results with one fix.

The only reason to use a very strong fix with film
is because of film's tolerance of very high silver levels.
Paper has less tolerance and so the suggested 1:7 or
1:9 dilutions you see. Suggested 8 x 10 capacities
are NOT intended to produce archival results. Dan
