Ok thanks. Would I be able to just plug it into the helix and let that run the fan? Not sure on how that works.

Connect the fan to the transformer and plug the transformer into an outlet other than your t-stats outlet. If you plug the transformer into your t-stats outlet, the fan speed will be affected by the t-stats output, which is undesirable IMO. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Re: New incubator
So the fan doesnt have to reach outside air, it is just to circulate the air inside?

Re: New incubator
Yeah no outside air. I think its to keep the temps more even from top to bottom.

Yes, the fan(s) are used to circulate the air inside the incubator to prevent or at least reduce the stratification of temperatures in the incubator.

Yah I had to drill a hole in the back. Then put the cord through the hole. Then wire up the heat tape. Also in the top for the probe.
