Algae in Incubator..........What do I do?

Algae in Incubator--- Im starting to see little green dots forming at the bottom of my incubator......would vinegar work? soap? I don't want to damage the eggs. They're on day 9.

On day 9 you could safely take the tray out, scrub it down, and put it back with adequate water. While you scrub it down just leave the incubator top over the eggs to keep them warm on a towel or something soft. That's what I'd do if I had algae growing. I'd also just scrub it with mild Dawn dish soap and warm water. Algae robs the water of oxygen, I'm not sure how much it would affect the incubation process, but to be on the safe side I'd definately clean that gunk out.

I'll do it. Thank you fellow Tennesean!
