I don't see much on this site about the Brinsea Octagon 40 so, here goes ....
http://www.brinsea.com/p-531-octagon-40-advance-ex-digital-egg-incubator-package.aspx
I have the Octagon 40 Advance EX digital egg incubator package. The "room" I have my 95 quail eggs in is ~74 degrees and 30~40% humidity. The little water chamber in the pump seems to run out every 24~36 hours.
Is this normal? Does anyone know of a larger water chamber I can get to fit the pump housing? I really would like to be able to leave for 2 or 3 days during the incubation period but, how do I keep the humidity up? The temperature is a steady 99.7~99.8 degrees. Empty, I didn't seem to have this issue so, I'm wondering if it is due to the eggs and chicks maturing and using more water.
TIA,
Sid
