There is a built in fan that works. I have not taken anything apart so I'm not sure how it's connected to the cooling parts but I would like to keep it as part of the incubator. I will add a computer fan, if needed.

Obviously it would be easier to just put the flexwatt on the back. Would it provide enough heat to raise the temp to 88-90?

Is it bad for the eggs if the heat tape is all at one end of the tub rather than heating from the bottom? Hope about running the tape up the sides?

Thanks.
