Subject: [pure-silver] Help removing (metol) stain.
Whenever I develop a film in Perceptol, I am left with a grey slime over my
tank and reels. I assume it is a metol by-product, since I don't have this
problem with any other developer.
Is there an easy way to clean the tank and reels? (The tank I can wipe with
a cloth, but the reels are more tricky and resist attempts with a nail
brush)

I doubt if this is from Metol, which is in a great many film and paper
developers. It may be silver or silver sulfide. A dichromate cleaner will
certainly get it off but you may have success with household bleach which is a
lot safer.
Do you have this problem with a particular kind of film?
I used Microdol-X routinely for several years without any kind of residue,
you might consider it as a substitute for the Perceptol.
