Third time is a charm - I hope

What sort of tubing did you use for your Brinsea octagon eco? The hole is very small, I was thinking about a plastic straw?

I am curious too! I had to pull the top off an toss the water in. That hole is too small - I haven't found any tubing small enough.

Try checking with your local pet store, in the aquarium keeping section. They have lots of sizes of air hose that might work. Or, you could check with your local medical supply place. They usually carry a whole bunch of different types of air and IV hoses. Some of which are VERY small!! The medical supply place will also have large volume syringes. And as far as I know, so long as you aren't getting them with the needles, there is no need for a prescription for them.

Good luck!

I have the same bator and found some clear tubing in the fish isle at WalMart and it fits perfect! Couldn't find a syringe there so I got those red and yellow plastic squirty bottles for ketchup and mustard in the kitchen section and it worked really well.

Good luck, I'm pullin' for ya!

Debi,

Good luck to you!
I'll be watching your posts daily to see how you're doing. I, also, just bought the Brinsea Eco.
This morning I figured out the rocking / turning thing with extra eggs from the refrigerator.

I haven't been able to find tubing small enough for the hole. I have the Brinsea Octogon Eco 20. LITTLE hole. But I did it this morning. So far so good (as longa s Ken keeps his paws off em)

Try aquariaum (sp?) tubing- walmart has it. It was the only thing that would fit in mine. I cleaned off my countertop this weekend to make room for the bator again, trying to SLOWLY move it into position, that way, the hubby don't notice so much.

I need to make a trip to wal mart this weekend I guess (ICK!!! it's 40 miles!!!). This morning humidity was 29% - day 3 and I have only had to add water once. I am sure I will need to this afternoon when I get home.

No time today for a tube, but I added water and it jumped from LO to 49% YIKES. Is this ok? I am really trying for lower humidity this time, since the higher levels didn't work...
