Thats about $74.00 or so (all prices rounded up) add another large tub for $7 and you have all the supplies for two automated growing chambers. With this setup, I can ignore my chambers for 4-7 days at a time. I haven't found a need for a light with the clear sides and white top, but I live alone and dont have to be descrete. It's not real cheap, but it is automated, simple and it WORKS!!!

between the humidity guage, spores, jars, substrate, pressure cooker, dust mask, rubber gloves, and any other miscellanious stuff ya need, you're looking at almost another hundred bucks... well, sixty or seventy if you're thrifty and pick up a pressure cooker at good will..

You should crumble and case those lumps. Plus, rather than running your air lines directly from the pump to your area run them through a "bong" system, where water is used to enrich the air with essentials. Nice materials though. I did the same with opaque containers enclosed with a plexi custom lid.
Try the "Bong" it works.....

ShaPiPe-

How many bags of perlite did you need for the bottom (I have that big tub, and one 8 quart bag, I want about 1.5 inches and then 3/4 inches of water...)

Also, I instead of putting the air pumps in a seperate box and making a filter, couldn't I just have H2O2 in the perlite and bubble the tubes through the standing water/H2O2 in the bottom?

What syringes are good to get btw?

I use 2 bags (8 qt) of perlite from walmart per terrarium. I strain mine through a colander to get rid of the small pieces and dust so I won't end up with "mud" in the bottom. ( you can place used perlite in a bucket with bleach water afterwords to sterilize and then dry out in oven in a deep roasting pan.)

Also, I do use H2O2 in my water/perlite mix usually about a 4:1 ratio. Haven't had ANY problem with contams, but I am also very paranoid and take extra measures. ie. HEPA filters, flow hood, HEPA filtered glove box, bleach, germ-x, etc. it all pays off.
