I can relate to that Rick! Actually my darkroom is in another
building, but last night I had to keep getting up because I have a
bad cold; my wife found me sleeping in a spare bed after searching
the house, including the computer room in the cellar ;-).
I did prewarm the tank when I developed a C41 film a few weeks ago,
but that was because it is a high temp process; I might give the
pre-load with water a go for Ilford FP4 now, thanks.

Could be dust, but sounds more like air

Things I do: Fill loaded tank with water,
rap sharply on the counter to dislodge bubbles, dump water, add
soup, rap again.
Usually takes care of both problems...
Caution: if you're developing film in the bathroom at night, and you
rap the tank on
the sink, anticipate a loud wail from the(up 'til then)sleeping
wife. (expletives deleted for the protection of our younger readers.)
