Monotub-ception - a modification idea
    #26967139 - 10/03/20 08:18 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi all,

I've recently thought of an idea to mod my monotub. 

I thought of this because I did not have enough substrate to fill a large tub that I bought.  In thinking of what to do, I decided to shrink the volume of the tub I would use.

Basically, I used a cardboard box to create a lidless container inside of the monotub, with about an inch of two of space between the wall of the cardboard box and the wall of the tub. I sterilized everything and put a plastic liner over the cardboard, taped and sealed.  I now have an open box inside of the tub that is more suitable for the amount of spawn/substrate I have.

What's more is that I realized this would make removing the brick and dunking it for additional flushes super easy.  I'm thinking that even if you had unlimited spawn and substrate, this still might be a nice trick. You could simply make the cardboard box flush/nearly flush with the monotub walls to maximize the space but still make removal very easy.

So what do you guys think?  I personally don't think that this will have any effect on the conditions within the tub, namely humidity and temperature, nor will it introduce weaknesses regarding contamination. 

I'm interested to hear your thoughts!

Cheers

The cardboard box will get soggy on the outside from the condensation.

True, I should use a different material.

But what if I covered it in heavy duty duct tape, and wrapped it in a couple layers of plastic?

Nevermind, I just found a plastic tub at the dollar store that works just as well. Thanks for pointing that out
