nice, thanks now i know yeah well id think itd be better on one hand to just fan it as much as possible rather than holes to decrease the chance of contamination... but on the other hand with holes and fanning and such you get more fae

for someone with over 5000 posts i thought you would have know what FAE is.
I cant understand how people find it so hard to take the lid of FC and fan it for 10 seconds every so often.
It only takes 30 seconds to get up, take the lid of fan, mist and put it back on, then go back to what your doing.
If u are away for large periods of time, then either get someone else to do it, or make up for lack of fanning when your are in.

Thanks a lot! It really really makes me feel like I finally designed something right! I totally love the way it works, I'm glad you're having success with it also! Do you also use the timers?

I'd like to point out that while leaving it cracked open will introduce fresh air, it might also sacrafice humidity, and it may not be as effective as removing co2 as fanning, remember c02 is heavier than most other gases in air and that fannying forces it out.
Having the lid open slightly wont be as effective at removing CO2.
If you really dont want to fan your FC, then a 2 small PC fans (1 to suck air in, and another on the opposite sided to suck air out) could do the trick, hooked up to a timer to run for a short period of time every hour or so (this idea is not tested and while may work, you will have to work out how long and how often they should run)

C02 is heavier then air communist. The reason we don't suffocate is because global air currents/winds mix up the air.

Yeah, CO2 will only settle in a closed environment like a fermenter or keg. If you have FAE it's not going to exit the bottom holes that easily.

i know this was 3+ years ago, but, HELLS YEAH! i'm glad someone said this. amen, brother! or sister, though i highly doubt it.. this person that i know fans his at least 5-6 times a day. he's only a couple days into the FC stage.. he started to make holes in the FC, but it was a cheap tub purchased at the hellish wal mart (5 friggin dollars!!!).. he's got a good 3-4" of wet perlite and he mists a couple times a day, fans as much as possible..
every now and then, especially overnight, he'll leave the window open (it's summer and it's HOT), stick a fan in the window pulling fresh air in, and prop the lid open just a smidge (did i seriously just say smidge? ugh. someone kill me)..
