I use 66qt sterlite tubs....

The exact size is not important, shoot for a 3.5 to 4" substrate depth, for the size tub you have.
The tub should be clear, to allow maximimum light exposure.

The holes remain taped for the duration of the colonization phase.
When I want to fruit the tub, I remove the tape, stuff the holes with polyfill(tight on the bottom, loose on top), and fan out the tub.
The polyfill stays in the holes from flush one.
I use clear packing tape.

I noticed you don't have tape on the top holes during colonization, why is that? And also, what size holes are they? Or does it really not matter?

Look harder, it's there.
I use 1-1/8" holes I believe, but anywhere from 1" to 2" will work just fine, just adjust the polyfill accordingly.

Ok I see the tape now... All right I think that's about everything I need to know then. I'll get back on the message boards if there's anything else, thanks again.
