Incubation problems (mostly with the temp)
    #7790758 - 12/22/07 10:31 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Battery in the digital thermometer died before the TiT was assembled this time. It has been really cold the past couple of weeks and we keep out heat turned down pretty low. I turned the temp on the aquarium heater up a notch to compensate for the decrease in room temp.

There was EXTREMELY slow growth so I assumed it was temp problems but the TiT temp felt fine to me and the jars were just slightly warm so I wasn't sure. Managed to find the time to get a new digi thermometer today and the temp was reading 88-90.5

I know that is too hot and it needs to come down. The problem is that today it is roughly 20 degrees hotter than it has been but that isn't suppose to last. The room temp is probably 25 degrees hotter than it was last week. I am getting ready to go out of town for a week. I only have roughly 8 hours to do anything about the temp change before I leave. I won't be around to put any water in the TiT if it starts to get low either so that could result in a temp drop toward the end of the week.

Should I just turn down the aquarium thermometer and through a blanket over the TiT to insult it incase the room temp drops a lot while I am gone? I guess I would be better off with it dropping down to 60 instead of leaving it at 90 wouldn't I?
