You need a 66 qt tub so 18 gal is about right

That one is big enough but I'd recommend getting a clear one. Sterilite makes a clear 66qt that is perfect

A 18 gallon roughneck which you describe is fine... sub level should be 4"  so the center of your 2.5" holes should go at least 5 3/4" from the bottom for proper clearance

The pics above is a 66qt and the lower holes are about 4 inches from the bottom

I like to have between 1.5 and 2 inch holes but 1 inch will probably work

It won't actually grow, man. It will die as a sprout and get consumed by the myc if it is left.

No worries there :lol:

it's more or less showing how much fresh air is coming in, the beads of moisture on the surface give you your 100% humidity where it matters, if you see no condensation you may be taking intoo much fresh air

0-10 ounces, depending on your conditions, genetics, potential contams, and so on.
