Randy ~ I did a dry hatch this time to see the difference. First 18 days at 33%, lockdown started at 55%, but bumped it up to 60% when they started pipping with no progress. One hatched out quickly, the other that had pipped prior to the one that hatched is just now zipping! I find the only slight crimp I've seen is right there inside the heater unit, just before it drips down to the pad. The pump box seems to be doing fine, and it's maintaining humidity fine as well.
