sponge or fill the wells. I have the same one and I had no probelm getting the humidity to 50% by just filling the wells. FYI though, I had to get my still air up to 103ish in order to get my water weasel at 99.5, once I figured that out I finally had succesful hatches. Youll want to see how your does.

Good luck.

You have to put thermos in it..at least two to make sure they match.

You should be able to find the 'instruction sheet' online, if you can't, I can mail you one of my LG booklets.
All it I do with my LGs is keep the inner trough filled with water for the 1st 18 days. They run nearly and humidity may go down to 45% before I add water again (but I need to refill every 3rd day).
On Day 18 /19, I move eggs to a hatching LG.
All the troughs are filled to increase humidity, if I don't feel it is humid enough, I add a wet sock.

That's just what works here, your milage may vary

*smile* there isn't room in my LGs for a thermos.
(I know what you mean, but it struck me as funny)
