Not able to do any helping but what's the advantage of 5% CO2?

Sorry, F is native to me though I have been trying to use C more naturally. That sounds a lot like what I was planning on building with a glass tank, PID controller (cheapo Amazon one) and some undetermined heat source. However, if the heating pad reaches close to that temperature that would work with the PID controller saving some trouble. Anything is better than a high wattage lightbulb in a loose socket in a styrofoam cooler waiting to catch fire!

I'd like to be able to grow some bacterias, molds, yeasts, mushrooms, etc in Petri dishes. My range of use would probably be 90-110F maybe? Preferably desk sized.
I've had a heck of a time finding one and am thinking I may build my own but I'm wondering if you guys can offer any tips like you did with the centrifuge. Looking to stay, and it may be pretty impossible, under $50 hopefully including shipping.
Thanks guys!

Re: [DIYbio] Cabinet Incubator?
This is usually done in mammalian cell cultures, as our bodies contain 5% CO2 as well. Having the concentration of CO2 at physiological conditions helps control the pH of the culture, preventing it from becoming too alkaline.
