Hey whatever works man! I'm actually a "broke" college student too (double major in English and Biology at Sac State, Ca), but that's what credit cards, grants, loans, and parents are for...LOL! A wife who understands and facilitates my adic...I mean hobby, helps too.

Just to clarify, the digital thermometer/hygrometer does not control anything, it just reports the humidity and temperature which are read at the probe. I control the humidity by having a timer turn the humidifier on for a cycle of 10 minutes every other hour and 15 minutes every hour between that, and then having a valve on the line that feeds to the incubation box. The humidifier also serves to push in fresh cool air, as it is driven by a fan. The temp is not controlled either, so it is simply ambient temp, which swings from about 68-75 under there (It got up to 78 once this week when my wife was baking all day). The ballasts for the compact fluorescents that light the viv are mounted down there, which is what brings the heat up during the day.

Thanks for looking,
Jared
