Looking to improve my pf/brf skills. Please help me out!

I have a few questions for my personal growth, but if you guys have anything else to throw in, please let me know!
-Should I use fine/small pearlite or less fine/larger? I feel like my tubs might not be getting proper airflow due to the compactness/concentration of small pearlite.
-Is there a limit as to how many cakes can fit in a tub efficiently? Any certain distance to separate them?
-Is aluminum foil base the best option? It's not necessarily bad in my experience, but I am continuously getting pins on bottom and i'd rather not have that high-moisture environment increase the risk of contams.
-How long can pearlite last? I'm not talkin about holding water, but the quality/contam risk factor. Is there a certain amount of flushes I should filter it out? And if so, is it really work sterilizing it also like some people say to do in the oven? Is it just more efficient to buy a new bag?
-Lastly, how long can a tub go unfanned or unmisted? Last time I went home and was away for about 2 days. I came back to contammed cakes( tons of pins). At first I was excited of course, but then realized they were shooting out due to a contam, which I resolved with h202 and fanning(unless it was coincidence). Anyway, I'm gonna be home for Christmas and was wondering how long they'll be okay, realistically?
Thank you all for your help.

Large perlite like the TEK calls for. If you buy perlite sift out the dust and small shit
Cram pack it full of cakes for better performance
Foil or anything else to keep it off perlite.
Perlite is a rock it lasts forever. You just rinse it with cold water. You don't need to boil it or put it in an oven.
Fanning is only done after misting. Fanning is 100% optional. Misting is done 0-5 times a day. You can neglect a SGFC for a week no problem. A SGFC is very automated.
Never use h2o2. Peroxide is for cobweb mold. If you have cobweb you fucked up something royal and you should start over. Never fix contamination, toss contamination

Do a bulk grow with grains. It doesn't require anymore skill then the Pf tec and the results are a hell of alot better. No experienced grower does it, why should you?

I still run cakes, I been growing for quite a few years. 
I did not want to risk losing all my spawn to one contam. And did not have the skill set or knowledge I felt nessecary for agar work, which, from my reading is kind of a must to get the most from grains. Dick
