    THE Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco Thread; Hatches, etc. (PICS)

    I did notice that to completely dry it after the dishwashing, I had to place it at an angle for water to drain from the inside. Is the foam inside soft foam or hard foam?

    Haha that's my best guess too! I mean, it's solid, very sturdy parts. I didn't see the problem, especially with the delicate setting :) I am sure it'd be fine on regular. I also only put it in the top rack. My dishwasher is pretty new but I know some older ones have that really hot element in...

    I was reading the owner's manual for the Octagon 20 and it says to not wash the incubator parts in the dishwasher but I have been washing the black tray, the metal dividers and the yellow bottom part in the dishwasher on the delicate cycle with absolutely no issues. Any else do this? Maybe they...

    Well I am loving my octagon 20 Eco for my second year with it now :) I went ahead and splurged on an Octagon 20 Advance because of the auto turning feature. :) thought the humidity reading would also be handy since my hatch this week with my Eco, the humidity dropped during the night (the cloth...

    And the year of incubating begins! I have an Octagon 20 Eco manual turn and put some eBay Exchequer leghorn eggs in there last week that appear to be doing really well. But then I stalked eBay and found an Octagon 20 Advance and set my highest bid in the last 15 seconds.... And won it! So I...

    Just set 15 shipped BCM eggs and 6 guinea eggs from a friend. Next Saturday I will remove any blood rings and infertiles so I can add 12 CL eggs that I'll be picking up that day (2.5 hour drive away). So excited for a good hatch! :)

    I had two Little Giant still air incubators. I think they would work well if my house was a constant temperature with no air circulation. :P So far I LOVE my Brinsea. I am highly considering getting another with my next paycheck (after all the bills are paid...)

    Just got my Brinsea and before I'be set eggs in it, I've already used it as an ICU for an assisted hatchling from last hatch. Long story but I am DONE with styrofoam incubators. The temperature fluctuated constantly and would spike in the afternoon and drop very low at night. They could not hold...
