DEFINITELY not enough holes. 1/4 inch holes, spaced 2 inches apart seems to be the "universal" set up for a good, working fruiting chamber. Also, the polyfil is not needed and might actually be doing more harm than good by not allowing enough fae. Your cakes and trays wont get contaminated without it. You seem to have based your design around a monotub, which I believe is not optimal for a FC

Take the Poly-fil out...
If those trays are 3+ deep; then they "might" be fine, once the Poly-fil is removed...
As for the one with PF cakes; you'll need to build a proper SGFC and then set it up correctly
Wishing many in your near future

I have larger than 1/4 inch holes. I believe I saw a design similliar to this one that worked well with polyfill filled holes. Do you think I can get away with fanning 3 to 5 times a day?

On the contrary, i think i may have to many holes. the holes are 1/8".

What do you guys think? All six sides have holes.
Also here are some of my first cakes colonizing!

An 1/8in hole has about 1/4th the surface area of a 1/4in hole...

dude to solve the problem quickly install a small air pump with a filter it works wonders for FAE.

Also 1/8 is half of 1/4, not a quarter of it.

simple fish tank air pump you get at the pet shop connect to a dry jar filled with polyfill or a filtering agent that doesn't harbor contaminates then make a outgoing line to the fruiting chamber

Surface area of a circle = "pie R squared"...
Pie = ~3.14159265358979 R = radius (half of diameter)
1/8th of an inch = 0.125; thus, the radius equals 0.0625 inches. Pie x 0.0625(squared) = ~0.0122718463
1/4 of an inch = 0.250; thus, the radius equals 0.125. Pie x 0.125(squared) = ~0.0490873852
As you can now clearly see... Reducing the diameter by half, decreases the surface area by 1/4th...

I'm thinking whether I should case my trays or not. I've heard that horse manure does very well without a casing layer, not much of a difference. Is this true?
