Monotub with sealing lid - 56qt
    #21988876 - 07/24/15 08:30 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi Everyone,

So my local stores seem to be running low on sterlite tubs this month.  I found a 56 qt, but it has a SEALING LID.  Supposedly, when the lid is clamped shut, it seals off any moisture from getting inside the tub.

My questions are: Would this potentially cut off GE while my mono holes are taped up?

Would this hurt my monos or not at all during the colonization stage?

Could I just set the lid on top without clamping it down?

Sorry I couldn't get a pic before work.  Anyone ever dealt with this?

How exactly is it sealed? Latches? A pic would be helpful.

It is a pretty regular looking sterlite tub.  It has the same plastic latches you would find on any tub. 

The only difference is that this one has a strip of foam around the outside edge of the lid, which seals off outside air once the latches are set.

maybe I could just rip the foam strip out and then it would be just like a regular tub. 

Couldn't find any good research on this and thought I'd reach out to the community.

If it has stripping to prevent air from getting in or out, you pretty much answered your own question. yeah, you could try ripping it off and see what happens. Good luck:thumbup:
