Rather than making holes in a tub, can I SIMPLY FLIP THE LID and run a fan? (Pics)
    #23946115 - 12/21/16 01:16 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

I have 66 quart sterlite clear plastic tubs/totes.

If I simply flid the lid upside down, most of it is "sealed" all around except for the shorter sides:

If I put a little bit of weight on the lid (like a water bottle), these sides will seal up better and air will only flow through the middle portion as you can see:

Would this work fine as a fruiting chamber for the bottle tek? I have a fan running in the room to increase air exchange.

If you do not think this would work well, my plan was to make holes per SpitballJedi's Monotub Tek and instead of polyfill use micropore tape per Pastywhyte's tek.

I don't want to butcher a bunch of totes and make em unusable for other purposes if simply flipping the lid would do the job. Thanks for your guidance.

Great thread! But, what if someone wants a more maintenance free setup and doesn't want to turn the lid 90 degrees every day for an arbitrary amount of time? I rather dial in the tote so it'll be a "set and forget" type monotub. I guess I need to use holes in that scenario.
