 Getting a little tired of fanning- alternative?

I do have bubbler inside my FC, but I still fan 2 times a day, worried that the bubbler isn't enough. Anyway, I think it's a little bit of a pain in the ass when I have everything else self automated, so do you all think IYE that a fan, blowing at a big polyfil covered hole in my FC, would be enough FAE to just let it be?
Has anyone had success with not fanning on a double fish tank bubbler? I only have a single one but I could easily upgrade for another $20.

No fanning at all? Do you put your bubbler in a glass of h202/h20 solution?

How big is your FC? That is the critical piece of info that you didn't post. Also how much air does your pump put out?

Its about 2 feet long, 1.5 feet wide, and about 14 inches high.
I'm not sure how to describe the air output, but its a slick black air pump found at walmart, I've seen a lot of people on the shroomery have them. There's one that has two pumps and one that has one, and I have the one with one. When put in my mouth, it takes about 2.5 seconds to fill up my cheeks, if that helps 
I'm thinking about just giving this to someone with a fish tank and then buying a double one, just to be sure. One tube be go across the top of my giant single tub in the terrarium and the other would go in the h202 water solution.

So that's 3.5 cubic feet.
The cheapest aquarium pumps do anywhere from 850-1500 cc/min, most are at least 1000 cc/min.
That's about 0.035 feet^3/min or 2.12 feet^3/hour. That works out to 3.5 feet^3 per 99 minutes.
So your getting an air exchange about every hour and 40 minutes. I'd say that's plenty.

I use these as FC, fanning is as simple as taking the top off. Pretty small scale project tho. Even for me, I'm moving onto bigger and better things. I got my WBS colonizing

Wow. You're a knowledgable guy. Thanks for figuring that out for me.
5 shrooms for you 
EDIT: Nvm I already gave you a 5 rating before, someone send a five his way?

You can just leave the lid crooked a bit for constant air exchange.

We should ad that to the glossary S.T.F.C. Seconds to fill cheeks. Maybe it'll become a standard measurment nomenclature

It's right up there with "hog heads to the rod" and "inches of mushroom extract".

Yes, but how much material will the pump displace if you submerge it into a vat of vaseline?

(2 ft) x (1.5 ft) x (14 in) = 3.5 cubic feet

The math in inches which makes it easier.
24 X 18 X 14 = 6048
6048 / 144 = 42
42 / 12 = 3.5
Or, in feet as expressed:
2 X 1.5 = 3
14" is 1 foot, plus .166666666 therefore,
3 X 1.166666666 = 3.499999998 cubic feet.
One of these days, all the old farts who think the metric system is too hard to understand will all die off, and we can finally have a system of measurements that actually make sense.

No, it's 3.5 cubic feet. If you really want the math lesson I will give it to you.
Edit: This wasn't to you RR, our posts crossed. But LOL, when I saw 3.49 though I thought "Damn RR, your math is as weak as your syringes!" JK, but I thought is was so funny I had to post it.
