Oldtimegator -
how much do the temps vary from one end to the other? does it get much hotter closer to the bulb versus over at the corner furthest away from the light? Or does the fan pretty much equalize all that out??

Thanks,
Kathy

You can get the perfect foam boxes from the pet store. They get fish shipped to them in them.

I have a woodshop.

Making a plywood box is pretty quick.

What I want to do is make a better one (although this on just had 2 100% hatches)

I like the sandwich construction of thin ply, styrofoam and Formica. I also want PID temp control, and auto-humidity.

Never was one for standing still.
