yeah, i'd change a couple of things too. instead of making a pod with those materials, i'd pipe those airlines into the side, near the top of the tub, so they 'pour' like wind over the cake. tiny hole in the tub wall (screwdriver) should take care of the holes, and i'd use micropore tape all over the airpump wherever the intake(s) may be, seams whatever.
then i'd make another couple of holes, with polyfill or something, low down on the side wall, for CO2 to seep out. just above the perlite level is good. i'd take out any standing water, and spray the perlite with something to keep contams down.
if the perlite is properly wet, you'll have 95%+ and you can do without a hygrometer: by looking at lots of people's pics in growlogs, looking at the condensation on the walls and reading what they write the rH is, you'll learn to judge it.
hope this gave you some ideas. i know it's not making it into a pod, magash style, but then your tub isn't the same shape, and yada yada yada....
sk  plus that cake looks lonely.

I'm using perlite and have the same "problem". RH is very HI so don't worry about it. My perlite seems to be sinking now after a few days. I think ones some of the airbubbles trapped in the perlite are displayed you can push down on the perlite to make is stay down a little better.
I'd imagine hydroleca or whatever it's called would be better due to its weight.

don't confuse the guy
i agree this wasn't the right thread for me to post these thoughts, as this guy wants to make a pod. but with the materials he's got, i'd do something else.
hope i didn't push irrelevant ideas at ya, batfly!

nah, it's all good. i appreciate any thoughts. the bubble sticks have those suction cups on the bottom so the raise about a third of an inch off the bottom of the bin. so all they'd really do is blow on the perlite. i wanted them to bubble threw the water and perlite, i thought that was the reson for themin the first place. i may be wrong.
anyone know how much chicken wire is? cause i'd think it'd be alot easier to not even have to worry about too little/less water and just put in enough to where i know it's getting humid and worry bout the cakes takin a journey on the missippi!
i'd like to use those red stones but they're too damn expensive, and i already had the perlite.
chicken wire sound like to be my new friend. i got a big pair of wire cutters so i shold be fine.
thanx again everyone!
that bottle is empty, it's just camera fodder, has nothing to do withthe setup, i used it to pour the water in and just didn't remove it from the room.

You don't have to have condensation all over the place for it to be humid. Mine never condensates on the sides and it is always above 95%.

Don't use the suction cups and just lay the wands on the bottom they work just as well.

geolite is cheap, look for hyrdokorrels
go to your local hydro shop and buy a hugebag of it for 30$
its enuff to make 2-3 big ass chambers
sorry, but i hate perlite, i used it for so long, it was always sticking to my hands and shit...
it was like fuckin kitty litter..... messy and annoying....
Shirley has a good idea there about putting an air curtan at the top....
i think im gonna get me a splitter.... split the air tubes into 2 more diffusers.... 2 on the top and 2 on the bottem.... im assuming the air pump puts out enuff air to handle 2 air bubble wand thingies..... (well actually 4 of them, i have a double pump)
that way the air will be really mixed up good.....

I think I will do this too. I don't think I am getting enough air exchange. The last ones were pretty small, especially after they were dried.

The right airexchange for the chamber is 2 to 3 times a hour. So make sure that your pump can put out enough to do this and you?ll be set.
