last year everyone including DH forgot. I didn't even realise it until around 7PM.

But I just can't pass up a brinsea, when its within my budget, and Ive heard nothing bad about it, other than its tight when used for hatching... Plus I read that its "Stupid proof." Just what I need. lol

on the bottom is the unit, click to enlarge, it works sooo awesome !!!

the element, infull...arrives in a box, you screw it to something metal that fits the cabinet you use...ie: your wine cooler !!!!!!!!!!! :alu
I have seen the same in other websites at $100 so Murray is still good for something~~~
Be aware that this unit is precise, and BIG. in a way that you could put this unit in your cold garage and it can handle it.
It has never once fluctuated on me at all.
You get what you pay for.
Be also aware that it can be attached to a BIG cabinet...a small one might be to small for the it to properly 'feel' and react to fluctuations.
I highly recomend.

Well I think its time to shut things down... Power keeps flickering, and even though our power rarely goes out... I gotta get things ready so Chloe doesn't freak, just in case.

Have a good night all! And hold on, cause they're saying its gonna be a gusty night.
