    Nothing fancy, just another homemade fridge incubator.

    Two rows of 10 watt 3" in the back. It's powered by a VE-300 with a VE-100 as a backup. I also inverted the built-in fan and sealed the back of it so it cycles the interior air.

    The water bottles help keep a more even temperature because water cools slower than air

    the water bottles serve as a thermal mass. they absorb the heat so that when you open the incubator door and the cool air rushes in, the bottles will hold the temp and heat the cool air back up to proper temp quickly.

    Mine is very, very similar to yours! Almost identical and it works great! Successfully hatched out two clutches so far! Do a dry run to make sure it holds temp well! If it does then it should work great!

    Wow that looks amazing. How many clutches does it hold ? I am planning on getting one from NS as well. They look flawless.
