HELP I just got a GQF Cabinet.

[josh]

I just got this thing. It has a waffer therm and a electronic one. It kicks on a 99 and off at 103 by the therm. on the side of the incubator. I have one inside on the bottom and it is reading 100 it is digital. Dose this sound good?

Although I don't have one of thse incubators and have never worked with one.....
from what I have read, the electronic one controls your temp (at 100 F) and the wafer-type is a "fail-safe" which is set at the 103 F. You can find much more info on GQF's website.

IF your digital thermometer is reading 100F...I would say that you are "right-on". You should get a humidistat (humidity gauge) to show your humidity %.

Hope this helps a little bit.

Thanks guys. I'm gona leave the temp setting where it is. This is a 1266 I think. It dosen't have a hatcher in the bottom. I want to make it where it will have a hatcher in the bottom. Has anyone done this?

 

[josh]

I moved the racks up and it worked. Now I need a hatching tray.

 

[Junkmanme]

A hatching tray should be very easy to build using "light-weight" wood.

I have one of those too and was thinking of doing the same thing... Can you please tell me exacly how you did it? I was measuring yesterday and it seems that when the trays turn the top tray only has about 1 - 2 inches clearence from the top... does that matter?
Also, what did you use to cover the screw holes?

Thanks.

You don't move the top tray. You just move the 2 bottom ones. I didn't cover the holes, just left them open I don't think those little holes will hurt. I will get the measurements.

I have a Sportsman 1502, & with my electronic thermostat working the system, it holds a steady 99.5. No temperature fluxuation what so ever. With that much fluxuation in yours, I'm wondering if it's being controlled by the wafer thermostat.
