need some feed back on my new fc

hello all. i finally got a digital camera. (not too great but it will do). i have made me a new fc kinda like the double tub i saw on the site not to long ago.
please take a look and give me some feed back.
 i hooked a coolmist to the top of the chamber and mounted a thermometer/ hygrometer on the upper top left. (its the black thing)
i have to wait for the silicone to finish drying. then i'll give it a dry run to get an idea of temp and humidity control issues that may need work. but i was happy to get it done while the forum was down.
any commenta are always appreciated. thanks lost

i went to dollar general and bought two sterilite containers. one about twice as tall as the other. they came with a blue lid that clamps on the sides.
i took the clamps off of the lids and inverted the tall one, drilled the hole and stuffed with polly fill. the small one i took and covered in electrical tape to block the lite. its about 5 or 6 inches tall. perfect to set a substrate in and let it colonize. then when ready i can just slap the top on it, clamp it down and turn on the cool mist , lite, and heat till ready to harvest.
the thermometer/hydrometer was bought at a local hardware store. i just glued it to the top so i dont have to worry about contams when i check the temp/humidity levels.

just one thought, why do you need heat for fruiting? Fruiting temps are in the low 70's thats the temp I keep my house at....

just remember you only need a couple degrees of warmth then, I prefer my fruiting trays to be at 71 degrees.

im confused by this. the double tub is made to control the humidity on its own.

gas exchange is what the polyfill holes are for. the doubletub is a completely automated setup without whatever you did to it. not sure if there is any advantage to that..

you gotta tell me where u got that bin though. thats freaken awesome. opaque bottom and a clear top. You can cover up and incubate the bottom half. then when its time to fruit it you just snap the top on. I want one! better than balancing and taping 2 retarded bins on top of each other.

ha, nevermind :P ima have to go look for some of those. might even be a good idea to make the bottom holes at the very top of the bottom container for the spawn run, since you still need some gas exchange.
