 questions about monotubs in closet - how to achieve air exchange.....

Suppose a walk-in closet was filled with a few monotubs stacked in several piles. Perhaps spawn jars would also be kept on one side on a wire shelf... There is little room left in the closet, and there is plenty of light. The only issue then would be getting good air circulation. The tubs have around 6 inches or more between them, so they are not too tight, but fairly close. What if you were to put a box fan, or a stand-style fan in the open doorway of the closet pointing outward from the closet...
My knowledge of air flow tells me this would also draw in fresh air into the closet, circulate it all around the stacked tubs, and then blow it back out thru the fan. What do you all think about such a situation? Would this be better than blowing the fan directly on the tubs - they would dry out if you did that...
Another thought is you could put an oscilator on a timer to turn on just a minute or two every 15 minutes, to blow fresh air at the tubs from outside room, but not too long as to dry them out. Any kind of timer would be available in the situation.
I'm hoping for a solid answer on this, maybe from someone who knows more about pressure and airflow in this kind of situation. I'm just curious that if a person had this kind of setup I described, how would they resolve the FAE issue? You could ideally leave the door opnen almost all the time as well.
thanks

I'd put the oscillating fan above or below the tubs and set it up so that it doesn't blow directly at the tubs.This will be enough to circulate the air inside the closet and keep it from going stagnant.

I would use an aquarium air pump. You can connect more than one tube.
You can filter the air with polyfill (in the tube) and you can put the tube directly into the monotub. Additional you can use a timer.
So its like light fanning every 15-20 minutes. This will cause air circulation in your monotubs and its 'pushing' the used air out of your monotub.
I hope you understood what i want to describe.

I cut a hole in the door to my closet and put a 120mm 12v computer fan blowing fresh air in to the closet and directed at my tubs.
Works great!

monotubs should be kept simple. I'm just trying to decide how someone would direct the fan with a closet full of monotubs....
fan blowing air out of closet..
oscillating fan blowing air in closet... would dry out tubs though
or maybe a small fan or 2 in the closet, and on a timer
hopefully the daytime people can add more to this thread, I'm still wondering what could be done in this situation

i'd personally install one or two computer fans in the closet, and try to keep the door open when friends aren't over.
