Elias, my Xtol has sediment in it too, doesn't seem to have any
effect, I'd be interested to hear others chime in. I keep my stock in
several size bottles, but I don't use marbles on the partially filled
one. Hope I'm not playing with fire...

My XTOL isn't that old. I use about 450ml per roll of either 120 or 135. I
fill the working bottle (full strength stock) with 70ml fresh unused stock,
then I pour the developer I just used back the working bottle until it
fills to the top, and I dump the rest. So I'm replenshing my working bottle.
So far so good, I've developed a half dozen films so far - it's been about a
month or so, and the bottle is filled to the top and closed tightly. It's
got sediment along the bottom. Does this mean anything to anyone? Should it
mean anything to me?
Using marbles to fill fresh stock bottle, to keep developer level up to the
top: the bottle if full of marbles, and since there's plenty of room between
the marbles, the liquid inside isn't going to the top anymore. Should I
worry about oxidation when the bottle is half full of liquid, but full of
marbles? Or can I assume that the marbles are cutting down on the air in the
bottle enough to keep the developer good for three months?
