Polaroid used to make a holding tank for this purpose,
and they show up on eBay from time to time. A company
called Graphic Center (in Ventura, California) also makes
a much less expensive tank, which is the model that I have.
The advantage of a tank like this (it is, to be honest, really
a bucket) is that it has a rack inside much like the one in
a development tank to hold the hegatives so that they
don't slide around inside and scratch each other.
