oh yeah duh i was thinking of a square not a cube

[davidnizmo]

its more than that i think its length x widthx height and then divide by 1728

ok so its 25 cubic feet so i need to put 25 foot of heat tape in it i am going to use 11 inch so i can use a little less right

I'm not positive on the exact measurements of that cooler but I am going to be using two 36 inch strips of flexwatt,
one strip on each side, in my other incubator next year.
It' measures 54 tall inside, 23 wide and 24 deep.

That should easily keep good temps without over working the t-stat.

mine is 25" long 27"wide and 62" tall so about the same then

Yeah, pretty close.
My smaller coke cooler is 35 X 21 X 19 and has only 30 inches of heat tape
and does very well keeping 88 to 89 degrees.
My herpstat is set at 93.7 to get those temps inside the tub.

Rock solid.
Keeps very accurate temps and has worked perfect from day one.
