Hello Everyone,
I finally got my Hovabator 1602N incubator w/ Auto Egg Turner!
I installed my version of "Turbofan" already. Running well and smoothly because I have (3) 60mm P/C fans! : )
A few quick questions before I put in the eggs Saturday morning. (I will let it run for 48 hours to be sure that the Temp. and Humidity will be stable).
1.) Humidity from day 1 - 18 should be 85-87% and 90% for last 3 days?
2.) Temp. should be 99.5-100.5 ish? I remembered reading somewhere that the "Turbofan" model needs less heat but mine isn't really STOCK turbofan so I think doing 99.5F should be Optimal, please correct me if im wrong.
3.) I have two "classic" thermometers in there right now both reads 101-102F about, but the digital version I just bought only reads 99F. Which one should I base on? There is about a 3F difference between the two glass therm. and the digital...thats what im most worried about right now...getting the more accurate temperature.
4.) My digital humidity gauge reads 62% right now but the "classic" coiled version "Kritterz" reptile humidity guage reads at @ 75%. Regardless, both are under the requirement for humidity right?
The manual says to only fill in the "A" section of the plastic tray and I did that but Hum. is still relatively low, now should I base humidity to just the tray limit or should I go off what other websites say?

I look forwards in hearing from you!
Thank You
