I use a litre at least ten times (half of it at a time) Increase fix time by a couple of minutes each time. Leaving negs in fix for 20 minutes even is ok. Just dont under fix. Get rid of it when it goes brown or dark straw colour.

Oh yes, don't forget to use a stop bath or 50/50 clear white vinegar & water after development to make it last. Don't open the tank for at least 10 minutes if the fixer is old.

Fix lasts ages, use it until it stops working, then replace it.
