i dont see why it wouldnt work as long as its above your perlite level or as long as its not interfering with your humidification. i dont have polyfill holes in my terrariums, i just fan.

hope i helped

well it depends. im not sure how well polyfill does for air exchange in terrariums, and i dont know how large your holes are either. but if your holes are big enough, and on opposite sides of eachother, and u have a fan blowing on one of the holes, it could possibly work for you...but id still fan.

mother nature provides a lot of fresh air, but anything used in excess could be harmful i guess.

yea i know its supposed to be fun but iam trying to hard not to fail..and i made it this far not to fail over some holes for co2 exchange :frown: but do you think if i fan 3 times a day it will be fine??will fanning bring in contams or no?or do you think i should just throw this tub out and go get a new one?
