okay thanks and yea that would be best bye all

oh yea and can i have some tips on how to make the holes?

Cut out a large hole, cover it with a piece of perforated aluminium plate slightly larger than the hole and fasten it either with screws or with a suitable glue (I consider screws far more secure).

Alternatively, cut out a large hole, take a sheet of plastic slightly larger than the hole, cut out a hole the same size as the one in the tub, put a suitable size piece of plastic mesh between the two and screw the whole thing together.

what Stefan did is the best solution for adequate ventilation
definitely do not think of hot glue as permanent - screening glued on with that stuff always comes loose sooner than you think
another possibility, if you have some patience and a well ventilated work area, is to use an appropriately sized nail that's heated over a flame, and pliers with an insulated handle, to melt holes right through the plastic

It cost me about as much as a week-old mouse.

if you own a soudering iron, that works great for melting holes into plastic tubs. It goes right through the plastic smooth as butter.

I just drill holes in mine.....

[drache]

either way - remember that it takes a lot of holes to get decent ventilation
