Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Water bottles act as a heat sink. After messing around in it and the ambient temperature drops, the water bottles which are holding heat allow the incubator to get back to normal temperature quicker. They also help in stabilizing the temperatures when it’s in normal operation (less work for the temperature controller and heating element) . I opened it this am when it was 35 degrees out. Thermometer dropped to 61 degrees before I closed it. Inside temperature went back to 85.2 degrees about 2 minutes after I closed it.

I was about to also ask why the bottled water? I have never seen anything like this set up with bottled water. I figured you may have been planning on using the bottled water heat conductor to spread out the heat more evenly and to hold it longer.
I would advise one thing, be careful, should one of those bottles leak. It looks as if you have electrical wiring running down to them; this could get you fried if those bottles leak and the insulation on the wiring is not perfect and waterproof.
All the best,
GB

Plan on hooking up a variable speed fan that I can turn on and off tomorrow in it. Parts cost me 25%-30% of anything comparable that I could find on the market already built.
