Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
Nice my man!!!
Minus the light, I think it is perfect.
I really dont see the need of a light, no offense brudda man!! LOL
I think that much flex with a fan will be ok. A few water bottles on the bottom should be A-ok!
Unless your checkin on your eggs with the lights out, at 2am...im really doubtin you will use it at all.

Thanks Pat!!! That is the type of opinions I needed. I wished I would have asked about the light earlier before I got it. It would have saved me some time and $7. I will know for next time though

Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
Nice looking! I made an incubator out of a reddi wip industrial fridge, and used 4 ft of 11". Complete overkill, but it is hooked up to a herpstat. I have test ran it MANY times, without any problems...actually use it to thaw rats haha.. My fan is hooked to the herpstat right now, but won't be when I use it for incubation. I would keep the 3ft. What do you have it hooked to?
As for the fan, I guess you could put a switch for it, though I really don't think you will be opening the 'bator up all that often, and with 3" of heat tape, it wont take long to get back to your target temp.

Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
i kinda like the light. i wouldnt run it all the time due to heat, but it will surely be easy to see in there

Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
Hi,
I like the idea of being able to turn it on and see all the little heads without having to open the door and cause temp drops.

Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
I LIKE it! Good job! I only have 2 feet of flexwatt in mine, for what it's worth. It still does the trick!

Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
I also have only two feet in mine, although I wish I had a longer strip. The more you fit in there the less it will have to run to hold your temperatures. The thermostat will keep it from overheating.

Re: Mini fridge incubator, opinions needed...
looks good. what thickness is the acrylic and did you seal around it? thinner acrylic will lose heat faster and if not sealed around it, heat loss will be greater. i prefer 2 fans even in smaller applications. one pointing up and one point down to circulate the air inside of the bator better. i did this in my super small cooler bator and it worked great.
i like the light idea! you can see the egg boxes without opening the bator.
