Help or suggestions for my APE mono (pics)
    #12580825 - 05/17/10 06:03 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

I have the mono below thats been going for a week now and my humidity is at 98% but I'm seeing a lot of drops on the top of the substrate and even on the areas that are 100% colonized. Is this bad? How can I prevent this. I just put a fan in the room blowing towards the tub from around 8-10 feet away. Should I try to absorb some of the droplets with paper towel or just leave it as is? Hopefully you can see the drops in the pics below. How does it look? And does anyone have any ideas? guess I'm just looking for some reassurance.

looks very healthy, and the droplets won't harm anything. Did you isolate it yourself? because it looks rather cottony...

i would leave the fan off, you want the co2 level up while it colonizes, but when it is 100% colonized you could turn it back on to increase FAE to induce pinning.

other than that it looks great.
what does your substrate consist of?

Ya man Id take the fan off also. 
You want it sealed for colonization.
And are your polyfil holes covered up?

You really only need gas exchange,
not fresh air at this point.

Holes just have polyfill in them. I had the entire tub inside a big garbage bag but took it out after 10 days. Should I put it back into the garbage bag for a few more days until all the uncolonized area is all white?

Yes, or even tape the holes and place back in the bag, you want pretty much NO FAE when colonizing just slight GE and that will come out of the lid soo just tape the holes and wait

Hmm... i thought it had to be spawned with a mono-culture to be considered a mono-tub?


either way i agree with the two above me, you just want a little GE (Gas Exchange).

Mono = 1

One tub = Mono tub....although I guess it's all in how you take it.
