TIT and incubation questions
    #14758103 - 07/12/11 04:54 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

I currently have 10 brf jars that were inoculated today inside a tub in tub incubator. I have a few questions though.

For the tub in tub setup I just have a 10 gallon tub inside another 10 gallon tub that has water, tupperware to keep the top tub up, and a 50 watt aquarium heater. The tub on top is floating on the water. It's maintaining a temperature of about 78 degrees inside.

1. I'm wondering if this is a good temperature for incubation or if it is to high.

2. Should I put weight on top of the top tub to keep it weighted down.

3. I currently have the lid locked on and am wondering about how to air it out. I'm also wondering about how to let indirect sunlight in. Should I just crack it open for a few hours a day to let in some indirect sunlight?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

70-75 is optimal because the myc creates some heat for itself so it may be as much as 5 degrees warmer than the tub

Incubate on a shelf in normal light at room temp and you wll be fine. That water sounds like it could cause more issue than help.

Okay, thanks for the advice Slayer and Space. So, if I were to put them up in my closet and open the closet for a few hours a day that would probably work better?
