my incubator
    #7804580 - 12/27/07 04:24 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Check out my incubator!
I had a tub-in-tub setup, with a fishtank heater in between and a small desktop fountain pump providing some flow. But I noticed something i didnt particularly like.
There was a temperature differential from the bottom of the box to the height of a half-pint jar of 5 degrees. At the very bottom it was 85, and the second layer of jars was at 80 degrees.
So i routed the discharge of the little pump up to the top with some clear tubing (right of the pic) and into some copper refrigerator tubing, and then back into plastic at the bottom. Copper tubing isnt the cheapest thing in the world but it works great! With some clothes in the bottom for insulation, it is 85 everywhere in the box. And that number is adjustable. It may not be pretty, but i'm very happy!

holy crap, lol. Much more elaborate than mine. Though, it looks like something I may have to try. Without the copper tubing of course. I work in a hardware store so goodies aren't hard to come by.:grin:

It's really hard to beat copper for heat transfer. Because of that i was able to look past the price.
If had thought of this in the first place, i would have skipped using the second tub on the bottom, and had a smaller container on the side. That way i could check level/refill a lot easier, and the whole thing would be lighter.
I'm happy for now. So is the mycelium!
