I'm going to use the pf tek, I'll be using a aquarium though and wont be able to drill holes through it. i know i should fan like 3 times a day??? oh yea, i have no lid so I'm going to use plastic wrap stuff, should i poke holes in that? will B+ fruit in room temperature (65-70)??
any tips would be extremely helpful.

no dont poke holes in the lid.. that would just be a mess..
i wish i could give you a better suggestion for a lid, but all i can say is go buy a big clear plastic bin at walmart.. they are like 3.87
works perfectly as a fruiting chamber and is cheaper and easier than messing with anything else.
b+ should fruit fine within that temperature.

i guess i should, its just i have this nice aquarium sitting here not being used and I've already spent about $80 on stuff, for my first grow. what dimensions do you recommend if i buy a rubermaid thing?

Big. Take a mason jar with you to Walmart and lay out it in the expectation that you'll have that many cakes in the FC. Or go get a turkey pan from the next aisle over and see if it'll fit in your FC if you ever do a casing. Oh and tall because about 3-6 inches are going to be taken up by perlite. So that's 4 inches (estimate for perlite) plus about another 3-5 for 1/4 pints (height of cakes), 5-7 for 1/2 pints, plus another say 3-6 inches for growing mushrooms. At the lowest that's a tub 10" tall, at the tallest that's a tub about 17" tall. I just got one of the biggest ones they had and shoved about 6" of perlite into the bottom. My hygrometer hasn't gone below 90% even when I fan

k, i got 2 totes, 1 for a glove box and 1 for a FC, i randomly drilled a ton of holes in each side of the FC (how many holes is overkill?) also I'm going by RR pf tek video and I'm trying to make a glove box from one of the totes i bought, i went to cut it, and it wouldn't penetrate the plastic so i heated a knife and melted through a little hole i tried to saw it out and when i pushed down a little piece cracked! i tried again on the other side and instead of sawing i used pressure with a sharp knife with no teeth i pushed on it a little and got some cut then it cracked a little again... how do you guys make a glove box from plastic storage containers??? or should i say make the holes on a plastic storage container

I used a small reciprocating saw to make the holes in mine. I had it set to a slow setting and I didn't get any cracking.
