A very nice Tek to dunk your Monotubs! * 8
    #14386468 - 05/02/11 01:19 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Recently while speaking with faceyneck about a good way to dunk a monotub, he suggested that i get a couple of lengths of pvc pipe to put through my polyfill holes to hold the sub in water.  I expanded on the idea and put 2 T caps on the ends to lock them into place.

Here is a pic to more accurately describe what my high ass is talking about.


I let it dunk until no more water was being absorbed...
This process took about 4.5 hours...

The great part about this is, its extremely easy to drain...
Just tip your tub over upside down, and it rests on the pvc!



After draining for about 30 mins, your tub is ready to go again!

Though i heard this from faceyneck, he states he believes he saw it in damion5050's post somewhere... :shrug:

So im not claiming this, i just think its something everyone should know!

Try some foam pipe insulation over the PVC,you just slip it over the PVC and it keeps the substrate fully submerged as the water level rises to the bottom of the holes in the tub. It is also softer than the PVC and is less of a "point load" on the sub. I cut the foam about 3" less than the length of the PVC from wall to wall on the inside of the tub and use 1" "plugs" of foam on the ends to plug the holes while submerging  . The plugs are removed to allow water to escape out of the holes while draining the tub (you really only would need to do this on the drainage side).

I just lay the tub on its side for drainage as it would be risky to flip it all the way over (it is rather soft at that point and could easily fracture). The foam still protects the sub and the holes are clear to allow full drainage. I also have a plastic bag on the bottom of my sub so flipping it over to drain like I believe I see in your pics would not be an option.

I hope that made sense and helps.

Yeah I remember seeing Damion mention using dowel rods through the holes in his coir bucket tek. Since that thread is like 80 pages long now, I'm not even gonna search for it, but it's a good idea.

I just weigh the sub down with something and fill up the mono to the first set of holes....then dump it out carefully when it's done. May get around to doing this someday.

i duct tape all of the lower holes then put something heavy on the sub while i fill up the tub with water

i tried ur technique a while back but the tubs i used barely fit in the tub by themselves so i had no wiggle room to fit anything through the holes

I normally just give my little lobster the pink yellow and green watering can and let him rehydrate my sub for me but I can see where this would work better.
