Default Roll Stabilization Tanks

Anyone here have any experience with roll stabilization tanks -
designing, building, tuning, etc. ?

I'm talking about passive roll stabilization using port and starboard
water tanks connected by a "slosh" tunnel. If sized properly the
water sloshing between the tanks will be out of phase with the roll
period and dampen the motion, even at anchor.
