First thought for a name was STORMY. Has the gray and whitish colors of a sky before it storms.

HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A STYRO BATOR VS CoolerBATOR with a WAFER thermostat, and this is our CHEAPO cooler, even the lid if you look at the cutout of the top has NO INSULATION- but its all in the THERMOSTATS!

Story:
Last night DH decides to close the Coal stove half of what its been for days, Its only 62 when I woke up.

NOTE COOLERBATOR TEMP 6AM
NOTE the Styro TEMP 6AM

IF HE DIDNT KILL the 7 day old EMBRYOS I will be amazed, its going to take me half the day to get it back up and then to stable it I havent a clue, plus he opened up the coal stove because its only 62 upstairs today. Hubs tells me he closed it around 10 pm so it was cooling from 10 pm to 6 am

IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH REASON for disliking Styrofoam incubators with crappy thermostats I can give you a BOAT LOAD OF OTHER REASONS.

If that's the lowest it dropped, then I bet the embryos are fine.

Good Luck getting it back to 100 degrees. I know how touchy they can be.

Be sure to let us know how the embryos are doing after tonight's candling.

it is amazing what a dual pane window will do

On my hatchers I have a 2x1 frame with a piece of plexiglass screwed to each side of it. the bators works less than half the time to maintain temp.

The lack of insulation on a styrobator is one of their biggest downfalls. They cannot accommadate large room temp swings
