New incubator

[ama1997]

Hey well this it the new incubator. Just an upright freezer I paid 5.00 for. Then the Helix was like 135.00 or so cant remember. 4 foot of 11 inch heat tape. Again cant remember what that was either. But not that much money and I get 8 12 qt tubs in there. Depending on the size of the clutch smaller ill use smaller tubs. Well thanks for looking.

Nice! I love your choice of Helix. Looks like you're all prepared!

Yah its all ready its the same thing I used last year. Only not the same freezer. The one I had didnt have as many shelves as this one. And for 5.00 it was cheaper and easier to fix this one up than it would to add shelves to the old one.

Very nice! Do you use a fan in there too?

[ama1997]

I dont have one in this one. I didnt use one on the old one I had either. Everything worked fine for me without one. Not sure if I can figure out how to hook one up I might. Ive got it set up and running, im going to check and see what the temps are at. Then go from there I dont think I will need to use one. What would be the reason to use a fan? Just to keep temps more even.

Nice incubator. You can make one of those fans really easily for under $10 shipped.

Just cut off the connectors on the fan and transformer, then connect them with a little electrical tape. You can buy two fans and connect them to the same transformer to have one blowing up and one blowing down to circulate the air, too. A small switch can be added anywhere in line so you don't have to run it all the time.
