I have a 30qt container and drilled 1" holes...4 on the long sides and 2 on the shorter sides near the top.
The problem?
I drilled the first 2 holes on the longside BUT they weren't equal distance from themselves and the edge of the long side. I then fixed that problem by drilling the holes equally distanced from each other and the edge of the long side. Basically, the holes aren't the same distance all around.
I figure air flow will be a problem which would lead to less pins/fruit in the middle on the side where the holes are disproportionately placed..Thoughts?

Sorry about the pictures.
The issue is the long sides of the container.
On one side, the holes are 3 inches from each other.
On the other long side, the holes are further spread apart from each other (5 inches).
I know this will create an issue with air flow, should I buy another $6 tub or settle with this bullshit I fucked up?

Well I'm sure it would work. I have moderate success with some pretty fucked up bins but 6 bucks is 6 bucks and if you can shill it why not?
-------------------- Alright then, picture this if you will: 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51. Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... Holy fucking shit!

If I was a cheap Bastard
I would duct tape the messed up hole and drill another one equal distance from the first

Well as long as you get a fan to blow air towards the tub, the air will still circulate inside the tub. I never measure the distances when I do holes on my tubs.

According to people that do this a lot, monotubs operate on a pressure gradient pushing dense CO2 laden air out the bottom holes and sucking fresh air in the top holes. As long as they are vaguely evenly distributed, there should be no issue with some slight deviation.
I've been looking into making my first non-msg tub, and there are a many options. I think I will intentionally be staggering my hole placement for better coverage of the substrate area, though in a more symmetrical way than you did.
In your case one side will have more intense coverage of the middle of the tub, and on the other side more intense coverage of the sides. CO2 dense air will drain from the bottom holes wherever they are. The same pressure gradient will force CO2 dense air from the areas without coverage into the draining areas with the lowest CO2 density.
I doubt there will be any noticeable effect from such a small error. Regular monotub designs don't have drains on all sides either and they work. For instance, Paisty has one mini mono with just two drain holes in the center of each long side, which is the average location on your tub.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...
