(More) bulk than monotubs?

Should I just purchase bigger mnotubs
You could do that. I've heard of some using kiddie pools. Really the only better way to bulk grow is outside during the summer months assuming you have the space. Other than that you're stuck with monotubs or GHs.

Speaking from experience, if you buy larger tubs you will be forced to modify the monotub tek. If you do indeed have a setup like you say you do, make larger (door width) trays that run the lenght or half the length of the room.
Pasteurize in bulk and fill your trays. Of course this relies on being enclosed in a GH environment. The problem really lies in moving that much sub in and out but nothing a few sets of rollers wouldn't fix.

Or probably simpler: put a large GH in the room, fill it with shelves, and make a dickload of trays at once.
If you stagger it correctly you can harvest perpetually or all at once. Then just reload and go. Again I'm assuming you have a separate room for spawn run.

While kiddie pools full of mushies would be quite a sight, the more effective way would probably be going with the pf blocks. You could build a system of shelves around the perimeter of the room with plastic between the walls and shelves. Perhaps 3-4 shelves with a couple foot clearance between shelves. Then take plastic and use a staple gun to put it up, with zippers every 3-4 feet.
You can then rig up an automated system to raise the humidity in the enclosed shelves for fruiting. Let the bags colonize and then fruit them. Should be far easier and you can finish faster because there is no spawning involved.
Never done this, but just an idea. But that being said, I would continue using monotubs and just find someone to help make them with you. If you honestly don't know somebody you can trust to help, then it makes sense to find another method but it will still require a lot of work.

Use straw in laundry baskets.....I've seen some straw basket grows that blow any mono out of the water.....

Here is an example....not a very good one. I got this off google images.

At some point you must ask yourself just how many mushrooms does one man need to grow. Just be careful is all I'm saying

If he has an airlocked positive pressure room, he's probably already on someone's list.

Pics of your setup or it doesn't exist, we figure you have 2 half pint cakes in a tupperware bowl with some verm for humidification.

I do want to see this room. An insanely expensive setup like that and you're only running 10-20 tubs? Hmmmmmmmm....

Or he's full of shit 
Which, according to occam's razor, is the more likely explanation.

Hahah you guys, the "airlock" is two rails (You know the ones shower doors go on? Yea) That I put inbetween the door so that I can create an airtight seal as not to cause any drafts when entering the room. The hepa filters can be purchased fairly cheaply from HEPA corporation (Where do you think Fungi Perfecti gets them?) and they are not hard to put in your vents if you do it properly.
Lastly, im not growing cubes, I'm gorwing Ganoderma, a quick look through my posted threads would have revealed this. (For example: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18944437)
Im not doing anything illegal here, given the fact I run an online store, and it would rather stupid should anyone find it and figure out who I am in real life.
Thank you, folks!

As I said in your linked thread

You might get a better response in Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms
I'm not sure why you would not be able to post there, but perhaps a note to administrators would help: Support Link
The description of this forum states, however, that it isQuote:

Discussion of setting up a business or doing increasingly large production would be suspect at best.
EDIT: updated quote from linked thread since this question does have to do with cultivation.

I remember that thread where that pic was posted.
Look at the fruits vs. substrate. That's quite a few steps backward in effeciency if you ask me.
I would also hate to see one of those massive blocks get mold and have to be removed from there 
Learn how to pull 8oz off each 66qt monotub, OP. That's how I bulk up my bulk. It takes good genetics and a well dialed-in environment. You can just use coir/verm this way and still pull large amounts of food.
