Finished my coolerbater (DUW)

[Wes]

I used a Coleman 120qt cooler. All the wires were pulled through the drain plug and sealed with silicon. Should be able to see everything else I did in the photo's.

very nice, just a few questions, why not go with a larger heat tape?, and will those bottles not expand enough to pop open?, updates along the way please.

It wont be hot enough to get the bottles to pop open. Itll only be running at 90ish degrees

Looks good wes. Whats the black controller thing on the side?

The main reason I went with the 3" heat tape was that I already had it, but I don't think it would make that much of a difference, especially since I have 8ft of it in there. I tested it last night after I got the heat tape wired and the floor of the incubator was at 90f in about 5 min.

Not sure about the bottles popping open but I know almost everyone else uses water bottles in their incubators so I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Will definitely update as things progress.

Thanks, Its a fan controller. Probably didn't need it for this incubator but figured I would go ahead and get it for when I got a fridge to turn into one.

This is the fan controller.
