Check out my incubator
    #5628361 - 05/14/06 12:59 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

This is my thought up design of an incubator that I've already bought most of the parts for. It's a Coleman Polylite68 cooler I got for free. Roughly 2'x1'x1'(LxWxH) on the inside. I have a small 15 Quart Rubbermaid container as a reservoir. Inside I put a 125 watt fishtank heater with a thermostat(also bought a pocket thermometer to test accuracy)and temp sensor on the heater, and a 55-200 GPH(0-3 ft vertical climb) waterpump, that means the pump can pump water up to three feet vertically. It's a Rio 600 I bought at a pet store for 20 bucks. That means the pump can pump water up to three feet vertically. Will also have another temp gauge hanging from a string centered in the chamber. My design is setup to where it pumps through a tube starting at the top, spiralling down so that the pump is pushing it all downhill. I thought this was the most efficient way to set it up. So I think I'd be able to use this small pump, even though it seem's pretty weak to me. The only thing I don't have yet is the tubing. I wan't something that doesn't insulate heat very well, resulting in better heat radiation. Can anyone help me out with some ideas for tubing to use?

I thought this design might work better than a rubbermaid on top of one another. Please tell me how you think this will work and possibly what tubing would work well for this. If I left anything out I'm sorry just ask me anything that sounds or looks confusing. The picture I've provided is not a 3d pic its almost a schematic. But it's not to complicated to understand. Just try to imagine the box put together. Thanks Shroomery.

Couldnt fit it on the page but here's a photobucket link.

It's an interesting idea, however id keep the incubator far from any electrical socket. Also make sure to insulate your wires with some tape or hot glue to prevent any possible spillage from causing an electrical fire.

To be truthful you dont need that water pump, the TiT is a solid design. It provides a constant, even, temperature. Pretty much a set and forget setup, once i found the sweet spot on my heater i havent had to touch it except to add some water in a long time.

a rubbermaid tit works fine.
no need to improve on it.

it's cheaper, easier,
and cheaper,
and easier.

But you think it would work? I couldn't find any rubbermaids with enough space inbetween. But I didn't really look that hard.

I guess I could take the 20 dollar pump back, but im willing to invest in a nice setup. I don't know all I have left to get is the tubing, I'll try it if it doesnt work I can use the pump for something else. Like circulating the water in the rubbermaids or in a hydro setup. But any reccomendations on which tubing?

they don't need space in between.

the bottom tub is 1/2 filled with water.
the top tub floats on/in the water.

yeah, heat ends up pretty even, no problems yet here.

dunno if yours would be better or not.
no idea on tubing.

never tried it out.

um, you just need two identical rubbermaids. Put the water and heater in the bottom and throw the other on top with your jars in it.
