Omg, I've been fiddling with this dang thing all day and I finally got the temp right but the humidity is stuck at 30% and won't budge. I've got all the channels full plus 3 sponges. Someone help!!! I don't know if my hygrometer has gone whacko or if something else is wrong. It's got a good seal between the top and bottom, well as good as a LG styrobator can have. I really don't have time to have this problem, my eggs will be here tomorrow!! Any advice? What should I do?

Your hygrometer is wacko. Lol. Take all the water and sponges out. Do you have a separate hygrometer that can be calibrated?

No, that's the problem. I'll have to go to good ole Walmart tomorrow morning and get another thermometer/hygrometer for a temporary fix and hope everything works out ok. There aren't any pet stores within a 70 mile radius so I'll have to see what Wally World has. In the process I'll order a good 1 online. Any suggestions what brand to get?
 
You can get the brinsea spot check a great thermometer, I use the accurite thermometer hygrometer, I only use the hygrometer on that as you can calibrate it. Mine came out 3% low. So I adjust accordingly. I am not sure what walmart has. I got mine from amazon. Someone else maybe able to help with that.

Can't remember what wally world carries, but whatever you get, get some non-iodized salt for calibrating it... fill a shot glass full of that salt, wet it til water gets to top of salt and seal it in a ziploc baggie with the hygrometer for 8 hrs... it should read 75%, if not then add or subtract to get to 75% and that is how higher or lower it is reading... good luck and don't worry too badly on humidity at the beginning... :)
