In a space like that I would imagine that you need two fans...I found a 4" personal desk fan at a hardware store that plugs directly into the wall and works great. Something like that might be a good option for you, so you don't have to wire in a new fan to an existing system.

I would also use two lamps. Do you have a picture of your incubator? Inquiring minds would love to see what you've come up with.

All the best,

I am beginning to think that I shouldn't have done this...losing patience rapidly...maybe its lack of sleep as well...IDK... sorry...had to rant a lil bit....

Just can't get everything regulated. Does the fan need to stay on constantly??
