Hi!!!

if you can find another one of those heat things you could try installing another one in a different area

ETA: where are the fans ?

Heating elements were off amazon but they aren't available anymore. Like aren't even showing on the website as not available?? Not sure what that means, when I bought them last month they had 250W, 500W, and 1000W. I was concerend when I first opened them because of size(.5"X4") but I decided to give it a go and see what happened.


yes! sorry I have issues with remembering things, but I think everyone is aware of that issue at this point

this big brinsea is cool, want me to snap a pic of the inner lid set up ? the plastic top has a double layer plastic with venting on outsides.

Already have 2 in there. not sure another one would help. Thinking if I add 2 sockets with some 40watters it should do the trick.

Fans are in the top sitting about an inch above the heat elements. tried loading a pic but email is being slow.

wonder if you could salvage parts out of a microwave for a turner. the plate inside is probably close to the correct size.

Maybe have to slow it down.

Morning all, Hope all are well. Looks like a lowes run after work to grab some light sockets. Finished the wiring up on the bator last night and let it run all night. Checked it this morning and it was at 87.5 with a wide open thermostat. Heat elements just arent putting out enough heat for the volume. Should have listned and went with the lightbulbs in the first place. It's coming together nicely but initially I will probably only have the original racks that came with it and will add a turner later. Also, I'm considering the possibility of it being a incubator/hatcher. Had planned on it being strictly incubator and building a smaller but comparable unit for hatching but have about hit the limit of tolerance from the better half so we will see. Not really sure why I wired the LED strip to connect at the bottom. Wiring it to connect at the top will be another project to tackle. Not very aesthetically pleasing the way it is now. I like clean and neat after completion and that just doesnt work for me after seeing the picture.

what is the element? looks good so far its huge what size is it?

Pictures are always good and might give me an idea I haven't thought of yet. You may feel you are forgeting things but at least you have passed on your knowledge. You undoubtedly have learned and forgotten more about incubation than many will ever know.

Speed would probably be ok. I would put it on a timer to only start so many times a day.
