What's your procedure for allowing a monotub to colonize? Tape holes, trashbag, etc?

I used to tape all my holes up, put it in a trash bag, and tie it up, but lately I've found it does a lot better without the trash bag, plus it's easier to check on. Some of my tubs I had been putting tightly packed polyfill in one of the holes and taping the rest, not sure which I like better. I actually found some of my tubs would stall with the trash bag method, I'm assuming they were chocked off. What do you guys typically do. if you use a trash bag, what for? I started doing ti because everyone else did, but really found no point to it.

Tape holes. Set it in ambient room light. Since it's a clear tub, I can just watch it colonize.
Then bang: (Sorry for the crappily made .GIF, and it was quite a sad MS tub )

Wrapping monotubs in garbage bags is an outdated method.
You would use the trash bag inside the tub, as a liner for the substrate.
This will eliminate/reduce side pinning.
The tubs should be getting ambient/indirect light from day one.
