Thinking about building a PVC incubator, never built one before, but they dont seem too complicated?

so far it will be PVCX 10mm, around 2ft cube, with 2 shelves

thermostat connected to inlaid 36W heat cable (inlaid around the internal walls)

thermostat connected to a slow fan for cooling

a water tank with a tropical fish tank heater, in the bottom

one door, lift up, on the front, with a good 10-15cm above the door so it doesn't allow to much heat out

hygrometers and thermometer with alarm



anything else I need to think about?

Interested to see how this turns out... I just made an "ice chest" incubator. I would like something a bit more permanent.

Post up pics as you construct!
