Oh yeah - here's a little trick I figured out for the commercial incubator with the auto-turner. If you are concerned with losing humidity every time you can't keep yourself from opening up the incubator up for only GOD knows what reason, do what I did. This picture shows a section of surgical tubing taped to a piece of wire clothes hanger, which is then attached to a clean squirt bottle. You can "fish" the tubing down thru one of the vent holes in the top of the incubator to dispense water directly into the foam channel, WITHOUT removing the top of the incubator, thereby maintaining your temp and humidity level. You need not attach the tubing to the bottle permanently, simply remove the screw on portion of the spray bottle nozzle, and hold the tubing in place with your fingers while dispensing the water. Works like a charm....Scott
