Is it something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Therm...QCOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305993416&sr=8-1 or

I am trying to figure out how I would read the temperature if it is mounted inside the incubator.

Ours has the clear door and I can read it very well. The standard door might be a problem. I don't know of any hydrometers that have a remote sensor like for temps.

But yes it is very similar to that. I have also used a unit inside like Al uses for his Alabator, insted of using the remote sensor I just put the entire unit inside.

I wonder if this could be used to control the humidity in an incubator? not use the heat/cool side and connect it to a mister system that had an aquarium heater to warm the water? And is a controller made that only controls humidity?

I have a "set" that sends the temperature inside to a remote device, but after a few days it loses connectivity. It works better in a brooder than an incubator

The sportsman does have a clear panel in the door. I could remove the thermometer/hygrometer that came with it (which I don't trust) and try the reptile set up. The price is certainly right.

The big Natureform incubators, walk in with 50,000 egg capacity, has a tube that is mounted on the front of the fan with misters mounted in the tube. If humidity is needed the fan comes on and the misters are activated. They have a control panel on them that would make NASA proud!

No need to teach wahkeetha how to give that shot, im sure she knows how but no need to give her ideas. She's all about bullying me around giving 1/2 a chance.

Where is a good place to buy the wafers for a 1202 (old gqf). Its double wafer and both need to be replaced.
