When I went shopping for terrarium supplies, I was dissapointed with how loose fitting the tops of the styrofoam containers were. Plus the only ones they sell at my ShroomMart are relatively small. I went with one of those Sterlite plastic bins. I'm going to build a lid from a wood frame and heavy duty saran wrap like stuff. I found that the plastic bins were very easy to drill into for your bubbler hose. Also the plastic bins were only like 2 dollars more, and they will last a lot longer. Just something to consider. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip. I got the sterlite tubs. In one, I'm using perlite humidification, the other is using an aquarium bubbler and an aquarium heater submersed in a large pickle jar full of H2O2. My third tank is the standard PF-style dual chambered terrarium. I can't believe how fast these cakes have colonized and producing. I'm watching the first little shrooms forming now, and it's only day 16. I think I may get my wish for having shrooms for the 5th of May. Planetary alignment going on and all...should be interesting

heh... Thanks...I was lucky to have quick colonization and zero contams 10 out of 10 jars. 1 PF syringe. And then, I had some leftover B+ that I did a few jars of...all PF's have been birthed, a few are producing pins already..the B+ are around 75% sitting in the box the jars came in on my monitor. I'm splitting them into different terrariums as an experiment to see which method I can make work best and if there's any difference between the two strains as far as humidification tek/fruiting goes. Purely for educational purposes. Mycology sure is an interesting hobby!
