so I have a bunch of half pint as well as quart jars . syntetic filters are on the way as well as syringes .
I have a 75 gal tank I shall use as a terrarium .
so to my understanding .. I put subtract down spread across the tank , then a layer of the inoculated rye .. then top it with more subtract ??
any/ALL help is appreciated .
also , if anyone could recommend some sort of bulk tek or proper subtract to use , preferably not poo , as I dont want to clean shit out of my tank (if possible) .
thank you very much fellow shroomies .

Substrate: coir Tek:Damon5050
But you're bound to fail unless you read some more on your own, you're calling substrate subtract.

If you are using a fish tank to fruit bulk in how will you get FAE? Go with a plastic tub(you'll thank me later). Also, I think you have the wrong impression about manure. You are not using fresh shit. It should be aged and leeched, it has no more smell than dirt. Not only is it the best basis for bulk substrate, it's no harder to clean up than any of the others. Do me a favor and tell me a little more? Are you using grains? Do you understand the need for pasteurization?
I have two bulk grows below in my sig that will give you more of an idea of what it entails.

FAE is fresh air exchange. It is still possible to use the aquarium and get FAE but you wont be able to lay the substrate across the bottom you will have to put it in trays so you can use air pumps to get FAE and humidity. This might help you out http://www.shroomery.org/9047/Poor-Mans-Pod There are plenty of other designs out there too you dont have to stick to that one just read up before you start anything. Make sure that you know what your doing before you do it so its not a waste of your time. Good luck on your grow

NO FISH TANKS! Bulk is really easy pick wbs or rye. Then pick a strain to add. Pick any substrate tek cubes don't care much. I use coir and verm. Build a super cheap mono and bam. Lots of easy mushrooms. Check the archives for mono. Tub teks their are tons of them. Be confident its really not hard at all. The tek acts as a guide to get you started once you follow it and see for your self what's going on you can change it how ever you please and even come up with your own ideas. Have fun with it.

ohhh okk . so thats why they drill holes in the side . thats why fish tanks wont work ??
I was going to put a big jar of water in the middle plus the fish tank heater that way it raises the heat/humidity ..
does that work ?? would drilling holes in the lid work ??
or maybe even not doing bulk and just birthing cakes ?
i just bought the tank soley for this lol . so dont want to scrap it .

Well buy some fish :p. Then buy a mono tub and set it up like your favorite tek. That fish tank will ruin your first grow experience. It can be done but its hard and cost a lot more.

How's it going? I'm here to help you. You can ask me all the questions you want. Privately message me on shroomery.org if you wish. I started out the same way as you did LOL. Jumping in heads first without really understanding whats's going on. Take a look at all the ways I attempted to cultivate and failed. The funniest part is I started out with exactly how you're starting, with an aquarium. I'm not making fun of you by any means because I did the same.
Look at my thread. You will be happy to actually read it. I went to grow more than a kilo of mushrooms after being persistent in the art of cultivating.
here's the link buddy.

Don't let people bring you down. Keep failing and messing up as long as you're learning from your mistakes.
Look at my thread. I will really show you all the ways to not screw up. In the end I will explain what you should do. You can read any tek and they will just tell you what you should do but generally speaking they won't tell you what you should not do. Learn from my mistakes, this is why I made a thread to share my experimental errors and successes.
Come to this link http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20258049 ask as many questions as you might still have after reading the thread. Many of your questions will be answered early. I'm sure of this.
