Question on making a monotub

Before I screw up cutting my holes, I had a quick question. I just got an 18 gal rubbermaid roughneck tub.
Monstermitch's tub is 21 gal and he uses 2" holes. Measuring from the tub bottom, his bottom holes are centered at 5.75" and for the top holes, he places the center of the holes up 8" to a height of 13.75" from the bottom. FooMan uses 1" holes and I'm guessing he uses the same 8" hight difference because I'm under the impression that this 8" distance is key to getting proper FAE with the monotub tek.
My tub is a little smaller than what Monstermitch used in his tek and I don't know what size tub FooMan used. I am aware that like anything in the shroomery community there are a lot of ways to do things and all of them will give good results. I just wanted some reassurance that if I lay down 3" of perlite and then put my casing in a 3" tall container that the bottom holes at 5.75" will be in the sweet spot.

I just got done with 2 VERY successful monotubs, one 92qt the other 27qt. I used 1.5" holes on both of them. I just eyed out where I thought the substrate would come up to, added an extra half inch for casing layer, and drilled the holes. I made sure they were the same distance from the sides and bottom. Then I just drilled the top holes about an inch or 2 away from the top of the tub. The 92qt harvested 3.5oz in it's first flush and has a nice pinset for the second flush. The 27qt just was partially picked today (10 shrooms weighing 373.1g wet the rest will prob get picked by the end of the day) Basically what I'm trying to get at is just make sure you line up the holes with each other, trying to get the bottom holes around where your sub will be and the top holes pretty close to the top.

The hole location isn't really rocket science. The bottom holes should be as low as possible (ie. at casing layer height) and the top ones (if any) near the top of the tub.
