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

    I use the Viva towel method. Make sure one edge is touching the bottom of each reservoir. If I need an even bigger boost I drape a third one between the reservoirs over the ridge between them as well. I try to get my humidity where I want it with the vent slightly closed so I have some control...

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

    *thumbs up* that is what I planned on doing. Thx for confirming that my logic made sense. Wow! 90% - that is pretty amazing considering the distance. I'm hoping the Brinsea can make that kind of magic happen (though I won't hold my breath.) ;-) It sure pops them out like popcorn when...

    I have the autoturner but wasn't planning on using it since I presume I will have damaged air cells. Do you use yours with shipped eggs? Most pages advocate using the very subtle 45 tilt No pump but I haven't had an issue with humidity control. At the end I use paper towels to increase surface...

    Brinsea 20 + Shipped eggs I'm about to receive some shipped eggs and was wondering if anyone had any special tricks/advice when using the Brinsea or success stories. I'm assuming everyone is leaving the "railings" out and using the egg cart method? Better ideas? Once you begin turning are...
