    Silly rack question

    Just got my ap rack up and I was wondering...do I need to add extra air holes to my tubs or is the tiny gap sufficient?

    It kind of depends on where you live and what you prefer. I added some holes, but know plenty of people who don't.

    I had to add holes or my humidity will be steady at about 80%

    If you are talking about just oxygen then yes the gap is sufficient.

    However, if you notice the humidity is constantly too high leading to excessive condensation you can drill a few holes in order to get more air circulation.

    On the flip side if the humidity is usually at 50% or lower you may want to leave it with just the gap.
