Sterlite Gasket Box?
    #23169973 - 04/29/16 05:20 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Has anyone used the Sterlite with the foam ring around the lid that keeps air and moister out?  Is this feature detrimental to monotubs?

I have the 56 quart version of this tub.  It says the big feature for it is that it keeps air and moisture out.

I am under the impression the holes with micropore tape over them (then with polyfil later) help with exchange, but I thought that the loose fitting lids also aided with that.

So... What do you think?  Should just rip this foam ring out?

Here are a couple pics of box.  Again, it claims that this foam running on the underside of the lid makes an airtight seal.

It doesn't really make a difference compared to non-sealed boxes. They work fine, but the reason they're not used is because they're more expensive than the cheap sterilites and other standard boxes. I like Modulars because they stack well.

Clearly you had great results.. but you don't think he is right in saying the imperfect lid aids in GE?

there's enough air in the box at spawning that even with the gasket it's always fine. if you're terribly worried open it up to take a picture each day

I took the ring out.  I have another one with the ring in.  I'll try one with and one without.  Thanks so much for the advice folks!  I really appreciate it.

Hehehe awww man!  LOL.  I went ahead and pulled it last night.  I would have listened had I not been in a rush 24 hours ago.
