right now i am doing a mono tub that is 74 quarts so about 18-19 gallons i would like 4 ounces dry off of this. so if i put 2-3 pounds of poo in there (dry) that should produce around 4-6 ounces correct?....sub is mostly poo with some chunky verm and straw depth is 4.5 inches temp will be low 70's
all i want to know is, is this an achievable goal? or could i get more ? or less ? thanks guys your experience and advice is appreciated

4 oz dry = 40 oz wet. I would suggest a minimum of 40 oz of dry substrate, then hydrated.
That would be 100% B/E.
Cubes are very capable of 250% B/E.

youre not using it right. i use the microclimate under my supersized shillelagh as my FC. a brisk jog once a day keeps the humidity up and plenty of FAE.

100 to 250% B/E is under near optimal conditions.
Most mono tub set ups are not optimal, without a provision for automated FAE. Fanning, IMO doesn't come close to optimal FAE.

then you start to lose humidiy, i tried pointing a fan at the tubs, and after a few hours, all the water droplets on the cieling/walls were evaporated. i had to open and mist a few times to bring it back to the right humidity.

I don't do mono tubs.
But, I would think. If I were to do a large one.
I would rig a cool mist to one end. And, a computer fan to the other. Except, I would reverse the computer fan. So, it would pull, rather than push.
That way, the cool mist would push in FAE, and high Rh. The computer fan would work like an exhaust fan.
Just my $0.02 cents.

if your going to start rigging up tubing, coolmists, and a fan, you would be better off with a martha.
