the frugalphotographer also has some basic info, and the coffee developer instructions. (You use instant coffee and other kitchen staples to develop film)
The particular tank they recommend is more commonly available as the JOBO. Back in the day I used the Paterson, which was much easier to use than stainless steel stuff, although sometimes the edges (where no image is) didn't get the full development. The film guide in the JOBO is even better - I'd go with one of those as I would use it for 120 film, which is a bit floppy.
I had - and maybe still have somewhere, though I doubt it - the Paterson washer hose. The way that works is you put one end on your faucet and the other in the center of the tank. Water is forced from the bottom of the tank out through the lip on the top. Not essential, but cool.

Ilford XP2 (or the Kodak equivalent) when under exposed and auto scanned by the minilab produces decent grain. With a bit of PS you can 'thicken' the thin negatvie (e.g. blend a dup layer in 'multiply') and get a pretty satisfactory result.
This is with a Fed + Jupiter 12, XP2:
