You have it all lined up to where you could have even lines of holes going across like the middle strip. It's better to do less first and add more so you could figure out the perfect amount. If you add a few more lines, you could see how the condensation improves. If it doesn't, drill more lines of holes. Start with one or two lines across, wipe off the condensation and wait a few days. If condensation like this appears again, you may need more lines of holes. Condensation throughout the substrate is normal, but shouldn't be throughout the whole tank like that. If you still need to drill it over the tank, add unscented trash bags over the substrate so pieces of the acrylic doesn't get all over the substrate. This is what I have done in the past in similar situations.You still have a while until the T arrives, so there is a lot of time to get this right.</blockquote>
