Enough FAE/GE for monotub?

Hey guys, I've got this 90qt monotub which has three 2.5" GE holes on each long side and one 2.5" GE hole on each short side. These GE holes are covered in 3 layers of pore tape. Above, on each long side, there are five FAE holes that are very small (1/4" I'm guessing). There are three on each short side. These FAE holes I plan on leaving open (no polyfil or pore tape). They are circled in the pics so you can see them easier. The lid to the monotub doesn't seal, but it doesn't let in a lot of air either. I know this is going to be very hard to answer, so I'm sorry, but does this look like approximately enough FAE and GE? Thanks.

I'd guess it's getting more air than needed and will probably dry out. BUT, it's just a guess. Why the weird ass FAE situation?

As unmodified tubs (without any holes) work great, this will provide enough of both.
A bit too much tinkered that tub, also outside lining doesn't do anything.
Keep things simple mate

Lmao I know it is very weird. I should've followed a guide. It started with just the bottom GE holes and 1 layer of pore tape. Then the cake started bruising a bit near the holes (too much FAE) so I tripled up the pore tape. Then, like a week later (today), I realized that the layers of pore tape probably don't allow for any FAE, only GE, so I drilled the top holes.

You're right, next time I'll keep it simpler. I didn't want to do totally unmodified incase a trip comes up and I won't be able to fan. The duct tape on the outside is to limit side pins, as light easily shines through my actual liner (black garbage bag).

I follow monotub holes to a T yet still unable to give them the ideal conditions. I live in a very humid climate and still figuring it out myself, after so many years. What I know now is that, polyfill works better than micropore

"for me".... The missing words in so many posts. Polyfill does NOT work better than micropore in general.

So since you think too much air, would you recommend, maybe, a single layer of micropore tape to cover the top holes? I know we're only guessing here but I'd rather go with your guess than mine.

I`d tape the top holes up. You don`t want much airflow for colonization. As pins form, you may start with opening one of the top holes, maybe remove one layer at the bottom and see how it`s going. You`re environment is an important factor, if you plan to provide lots of passive air flow, you`ll have to babysit moisture content. Dry climate there? Keep this in mind
