    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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.
 
If the rack is of standard construction, meaning a relatively snug fit, then ventilation is likely not going to be as effective on the tops as it would be on the sides, simply because there isn't as much airspace.
If you decide to drill the sides of your boxes I'd like to share this little nugget that has worked well for me in the past. To prevent the plastic from cracking when drilling, simply back up each mark with a block of wood before drilling making sure to hold it firmly against the plastic. If you don't have a piece of wood handy, then an old book will work just as well.
Best of luck with your new set ups!
 
Yes if there isnt much room between shelves to allow air flow i would definetly put a few in the sides. This will help allow a cross wind & air will actually exchange. You can always put the holes up high so there not as noticeable. Good luck
