nice looking build.
Temp is always a hard to calibrate during the first hatch as you tend to over think it. 99.5 is the ideal temp but to be honest anything around 98-102 will work. After your first hatch if you calculate the days that will tell you if you are slightly cold or hot. On the first batch I would mark the eggs in the corners and one egg in the center if they all hatch with in 18hrs then its perfect if one egg is early or lagging then I would take a closer look at the design (maybe slow the fan down or add a deflector).
