so i got a 34 gal clearn tote i got from ikea but i think it is alot wider then what most people are use to using. the demensions are 79x57x42 cm. i did water in my quart jars and it took 35 quarts to get 4 in so i was wondering how much coir and spawn should i use for this.

thats huge and at least 10-13 qt's of spawn would be my reccomendation, but i would just go smaller as the average tote is 18 gallons which is nearly half of what you gotso just double up and then some on whatever tek your reading
--------------------
  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

I got rid of my 106 qt mono. It took double the standard 66qt (2 brick coir/gallon verm/10+ qt spawn)...after a few trials with that, I came back to the 66 for many reasons. Its easier to move/clean 66qt, and 2x of them have more total surface area than one 106 qt tub....not to mention if there is a contamination....which did happen to me on my last of 3 trials. UGGGGhhhh.....first test on coffee grounds FAIL!
So, the 106qt got all the mono-tub holes taped over, and it became my still air box. 66qt tubs are a really sweet spot for this hobby. I haven't figured it out exactly, but it has something to do with the perfect size and ingredients being standard form. 5qt spawn/brick coir/2 qt verm - Bingo.

Yep.
Its better to get a clear tub, but if that is what you can get for now, try it.
Dunno where you are at, but sometimes the dollar stores have tubs. Family Dollar general etc. Any department store should have as well.

These are what Ive been using after trying a few different kinds.
They are clear with a clear lid, and come with purple, blue, or green handles.
Sterilite brand name.
