My Dub Tub Setup Suggestions/Comments are encouraged!

well to start off I have 3 Eq 1 pint jars that are almost done (nocced on 10-7 and 2/3 are fully colonized just waiting the one week)
so I have a double tub fruiting chamber setup and just had a few questions about how my setup would work or if any experienced users see some flaws with my method so that I can improve upon it.
so my setup consists of 2 tubs (obviously) one is half the height of the other, I am using the shorter one for the bottom and taller one for the top.
I have 4 1/4" holes drilled on the 2 long sides of the bottom short tub.
a layer of weather stripping is on the top tub to prevent it from slipping off the other one and to force air out of the 4 exhaust holes.
Now on the top tub there is only 1 hole drilled because my systems is feed with a fish tank air pump (it is a very large double tube design meant for 150 gallon tank)
now the air pump feeds into a small air tight container with an ultrasonic mister in it (fountain fogger) and then one hose leads from the container to the top tub.
should I drill bigger holes in the bottom tub, should I stuff the holes with poly fill? or should I not worry about it because the tub is in a constant state of positive pressure?
will this be enough air exchange?
I have done a test run and the rH stays at a constant 99% but that is with my digital thermometer/hygrometer that I have for around the house, my analog one should be arriving tomorrow.

I'm not sure if 1/4" holes are big enough.. All the dub-tubs I've seen, the holes are bigger - at least an inch or two.. This is because you want to allow as much FAE as possible, since you technically shouldn't be opening till harvest..

If you're not using a casing, that should be plenty of humidity. If you are using a casing you only need a casing of about 80% - in which case you probably wouldn't even need the humidifier hooked up.
Most tubs that I've seen on here had holes about 1-2 inches and were filled with polyfill (not too tight) or covered with micropore tape.
I suppose it depends on how big the tub is and how many holes (lots of small ones vs a few big ones).

well there are only 4 1/4" holes, but I have an air pump feeding the tub so it has a constant flow of air pushing out of those small holes.

A dub-tub shouldn't have an air-pump, just make the holes the proper size.. How exactly are you planning on running it anyways?

I just read your original post - what you're doing isn't a dub-tub.. A dub-tub doesn't need any supplemental humidity cuz it should be maintained by the substrate, and by being sealed up..

I use quarter inch holes myself. I use tropical humidifer or whatever they're called. I did it dub tub style but I only need a single tub cuz its PE. I added 3 holes on each side and two on the end. No holes on top. Its literally covered with pins. I dont post pics..srry.. but its looks cool.
