    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm not sure i should ask this is this section so i'm sorry if that's the case. I was in the process of moving from aquariums into sterilite tubs and will be using the tops on them when in the rack. I was wondering if putting the holes in the top is as effective as putting them in the sides. I really personally don't like the look of the holes in the side but will ventilation still be good if done in the tops? Thanks for any responses.
 
I think most people put the holes in the tubs because the tubs get used in rack systems, while the tops get stacked up in a closet.
 
I'm going to build my own rack to use mine in as well but leaving the tops on them. Just not sure ventilation will work if in a rack with holes on top. I just don't like the look of the holes since it will be in our bedroom right now and wife wants it to look "nice" lol
 
if the holes are on top and the tops left on but then also put into a rack, it's not going to provide much. Is the back of the rack open or closed? Maybe you can put the holes only on the sides and back of the tubs? Just a thought
 
Pretty simple answer there. lol. I can just put the holes on the sides and back and won't ever see them while in the rack. duh....brain isn't working today. thanks for the reply
 
We built our racks where we dont use lids. We also dont drill holes in the tubs. There is about an 1/4" gap from the top of the tub to the shelf above it. Thats all the ventilation that the snake needs.
