Possible humidity solution???

How many ventilation holes do you have? I have some BRB's in 41-qt tubs in a rack, each tub has six holes, three on each of the short sides. Any more than that and they are too dry.

ummm, yeeeah ...so i have roughly 40 air holes each about the gauge of a sharpie marker... starting to think i may have gotten a little carried away. I'm going to cover about half of them and see how that works.

Too many holes.

When you start drill'n, go low and go slow.

UPDATE: tried a sponge in multiple locations and in various arrangements (including a strange but ingenious paper towel tent style), helped a little but not much. Covered up all but six of the 45 air holes that I had overzealously drilled – some help but still losing moisture constantly. At my wits end, I had an epiphany; the lid. Let me remind everyone that I am using Sterilite tub on its side (for front access). I had always assumed the lid was a non-issue because its one of the heavy duty "latch" styles. But while the lid was certainly secure and unlikely to fall off or allow escape, upon further inspection I realized that it was providing basically a 9 foot air vent around the entire perimeter. Three dollars worth of foam weatherstripping later and I do believe my humidity worries are over!

Thank, everyone, for all your help!

Behold my creation:
the soggy teepee!

Lol well that's a lot more creative than my balled up wet paper towel trick.
