Monotub moisture and evap. thoughts

Hi guys I would like your thoughts on the conditions of my tub. I've got an insulated monotub with about a half an inch thick walls and six 2" diameter holes lightly filled with polyfil (for fruiting). I have a hpoo/verm/coir substrate and probably put my tub into fruiting too early. That being said, I have been reading the forum, trying to answer my own questions but I think its time to just get some input from other users.
I've been fruiting since about 1/31 and am a bit concerned about the dew that has been collecting on top of the mycelium with what seems to be no evaporation. As you can see, it looks like there is quite a bit of piss on top of the mycelium that is beginning to form. It seems like moisture isn't a problem, I'm worried there is too much moisture build up.
Whats everyones thoughts on the tub? Thanks in advance for the replies.

I’d ride it out until you see an obvious contamination. Metabolites aren’t uncommon with h-poo substrates. If anything bump up the FAE a little bit

metabolites are also common with just coir tubs. mine always produce a lot. i just use a dry paper towel and dab them up gently.
your tub looks like its gonna explode in a couple days!
i wouldn't worry about it

I'm thinking the thickness of the insulating tub is making it hard for the evaporate through a hole with depth rather than a basically 2D hole like on a traditional monotub. Might explore pumping some fresh air in with an aquarium pump.
