Oh, fine let's talk serious theorical kung-fu techniques.

I have several scattered notebooks all over, paper balls wadded up and the likes but disregard that! I've been itching to post for a quite while but didn't know anything at all, I'm still learning so be gentle on my butt 
One major thing I notice a lot of people neglect to even consider is a bottom layer. Everyone's worried about casting, and substrates but basic botany 101... Literally every gardener knows to add gravel to the bottom of their pots. Why haven't I seen too many people even mention this?
Be warned I'm spewing everything that's boiling over in my brain, but so far it boils down to two choices -- Perlite and LECA. Different set ups have different problems but ultimately high humidity with an ultra-sonic cool mist can flood your trays. I suffered from having too dry a substrate, then later had the problem of liquid pooling in the bottoms along with orange liquid droplets appearing all over which I assume was metabolites. My solution for the next set up would be to use either of the two at the bottom with holes drilled.
What I'm immensely curious about is whether putting two 14x15x7 tubs set up in such way in a 50 gallon tub. The smaller ones will drain into the 50 gal, and the 50 gal itself will have a humidifier running 24/7 but oh! What about the ever important stale air/FAE required? I'm 65% certain my humidifier will definitely not pump enough clean air into the 50 gal tub. Been thinking of running a tiny computer fan to circulate the air inside, but this still does not introduce enough fresh air. It merely mixes it, atop that I want to buy the stuff and try to dial the humidity in, as well as fresh air. At some point in time I actually considered using a dust barrier set up affixed to pvc tubes to make a mini indoor green house, put spider plants in there for oxygen. Keep the trays elevated at least chest height, plants knee height and HEPA filter with a fan. But that starts to become so complicated, cost ineffective so I went back to the drawing board and yeah... now at the idea of one 50 gal tub with 2 smaller ones in there and some vents to intake fresh air and expel stale... but then comes into play the dynamics of air pressure, density and the likes...
Hm... you guys know what I'm craving tacobell, brb.

One should note the act of kung fu not being about fighting, but what is on the inside.
-------------------- And thus begins the reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.
