Are my holes okay? Too much?

If you don't mind, could you show me a picture of one of your tubs? I would just like to see how you have your holes done.

I drill large holes in the front and back. About 6 - 8 per side.

Damn. In that case my holes seem like overkill. However my substrate isn't even what most people would consider damp. It just isn't completely "desert" dry and the humidity will stay 70-80%. Do you know how big your holes are? Mine are 1/8th inch. In case this is relevant, my tubs are 24x16

Also is your rack made up of solid walls? I think that may be a reason for my humidity being so high for the number of holes I have in my tubs. Three sides of my tubs are covered by the solid walls of the rack, cutting down on airflow and circulation.
