Congrats! Looks like a great clutch. Are the waterbottles directly on top of the heat tape? No melting issues?

Nope, this is my third year using the same cheap paper thin platic bottles.

[QUOTE=Ch^10;1526610]Where did you get the light diffusers? Are you by chance a ME (mech. eng.)?!

Home Depot. Nope, jax, Fl.

Did the cooler come with the windows in it or did you add them yourself?

I cut the window holes myself. I bought a kit from a guy that used to frequent the forums that gave specifc directions. Haven't seen him around in a long time though... I believe his screen name was pythonwallace

Mike I am trying something similar and was wondering if you could show pictures on how you ran the cord from the heat tape out of cooler?

That was easy. I just drilled a hole in the side of the cooler to run the wires, then filled the hole back up with with hot glue.

It doesnt look like you have any substrate in with the eggs, do you leave them like that? Also where did you get the fan and what is the voltage?

Yes, I only use substrateless method. It has worked for me with 100% success rate and is obviously the easiest.

The fans are from radio shack. They are 12v dc.

Which model fan is this from radioshack? And what did you purchase to do the hookup in order to plug into wall outlet?

Sorry, don't know model number. I am running them both off of one plug. It is an old laptop power cord. It is rated for 15v dc at 5 amps. the fans only draw a total of 3.2 amps so the cord can more then handle it... shoot, it could handle a third if I wanted.
