incubator ?s

[armison89]

i made a stand for a large fish tank but i just sold the tank. now im thinking of insulating it and making it an incubator.

how should i make the door?
how much heat tape?
where should i put the fans?
will this work??????

Wood isn't a very good insulator so you will have to get some foam board or something like that.

How big is it?

i was going to get insulation from lowes then inclose it. the inside would be about 17x30x62.

My personal opinion: I would keep that as an extra tank stand (it looks like you did a nice job with it) and then look for a broken fridge or freezer or cooler on craigslist and buy that and DIY it into an incubator.

[armison89]

are there any good diy guides for using a fridge?

This one is decent. I would break a few things, but it all depends on the fridge that you are using:
