Handling water sloshing in partially filled tank on drone

I’m flying a hexacopter that carries a partially filled water tank (sprayer use-case). When the tank is half-filled, water sloshing might cause shifting CoG and oscillatory moments, which might lead to instability. I’m looking for any advice to handle this or any setup that I need to do before testing with partially filled water tank. I’m using this tank: https://electrocomps.in/product/buy-10-litre-eft-agriculture-drone-spraying-tank-lowest-at-price/?srsltid=AfmBOopasO-6vgiJd3_9G7eo8PBMgxZetXDSpHiwTRwTmzh3cRDWGXjKd6k

Generally of the drone is big enough it shouldn’t cause issues. If you have issues you would need to put baffles in the tank.

You could put some explosafe foam in the tank. It takes up about 4% of the total volume and would stop any liquid movement.
You can squeeze it in through the filler cap and it will expand again to fill the tank space.
