I run bubble bars pushing o2 via a pump in a few of mine, makes a little bit of difference. But never extends the amount of flushes, that's decided by the amount and type of substrate you use I would think.

the whole idea of the monotub is not having to fan it. otherwise i could avoid the hassle of cutting holes in it and stuffing them and and and ...
the tubs were never opened and did well.
and they flush just like normal casings do.

yes ohm, i know this is the idea. but, as i stated, the lids on these tubs seal so tight,(iris clear stack) that fanning is required doing it this way. im trying to get input from you on how you might solve this? otherwise, fanning is necessary at least 1-2 times a day.
how many flushes do you generally get off these tubs?
just a rough estimate!
if you take a look i TAPED on the lid, it was shut totally.
thats why there are the polyfill holes, the co2 oozes out of them ! without them it would rot and go bad, with them, many many people have good success.
if you feel you need more exchange, add more holes, do 20 or shit lol, im sure youll get it going.
flushanswer was already provided above.

once contams established, and in our hobby these are mostly molds, the rule is if you see it - its everywhere.
i tend to toss tubs if they show signs of contamination.
if you got the contam in a very small space, you could try spooning it out and applying lots of h2o2 around it.

thanks everyone! this answers a lot of my questions about monotubs, but i still have a few...
i would like to try a monotub right off the bat, since it looks like the simplest way to build a cheap low-maintenance home for growing fungus. (money, space, and time, are three things i do not have a lot of right now...)
however, it's been pointed out by several people that monotubs are more susceptible to contamination, and so for a newbie, it's a good idea to start with several small trays, so as to not to put all your eggs in one basket. (this way, if something does go wrong, there's a chance you'll be able to save SOME of your work.)
so, with this in mind, what do you guys think of starting several rather small monotubs at once? (instead of using trays and having to bother with perlite and fanning...)
is there a limit to how small a tub can be before it stops being automated? i would imagine that with a small enough tub FAE gets a lot harder.
any thoughts on a strategy for a first-time (metaphorical) grower?

2 on each long side at sub level and two on each end at the top will suffice.
