Thanks so much
I set up my LG about two days ago I do not have turner for one LG (no fan)..where should I take the temp to set it up. I put a little piece of styrofoam in to keep the thermometers up to where the mid to top of the eggs will be. Should I set it up with the thermometers on the wire instead?.... Also I tried a few thermometers. Two I could put in a glass of ice water. One was a digital with a prob it read 32.5. The other was a aquarium glass one with the red stuff that moves up. it only has marks to 32 but the red moved down to where i assume the 30 would have been if marked. It was a little lower than the32 mark. ....When placed near each anywhere the aquarium therm always reads 2 lower than the digital. Its a 10-14$ dig. therm from petco that says for terrariums and reptile incubators. My other I couldnt calibrate.. One is plastic like with a dial for terrariums with a hyd. on it. It reads just under the glass therm. It seems to be 2.5-3 lower than the one that read ice water at 32.5 it is the kind with a needle and prob has the rolled up wire on the back but its cased in. How will i get the temp correct? If should i assume the one dig with prob that says ice water is near 32 is correct and just add two deg. for the glass one? Where should i put the therm. Setting up two LG one with a turner one without. With the turner I'm putting the probe just a little inside the egg turner hole. Is that too low. It isn't where a therm would be if sat on top an egg its lower
1. where do i put the therms. when setting up. without a turner? on the wire or elevated to where mid egg would be?
2. what therm to trust? digital with a wire coming from it/probe that reads 32.5 in ice water.. then cal. the other therms to that one?
I figure I would try to get the temp set for 100 go off the dig/w wire and probe. Take the temp in only one place so not to drive myself crazy with it and hope for the best?
PLEASE HELP i don't want to fail my first time
