Arghhhh-vabator

I've been trying to set up my two hovabators for a while now. As it's my first time using an incubator I wanted it to be as perfect as possible (coz I'm sure something else will go wrong). One is a still air model for reptile eggs, and the other is a fan forced model for quail eggs. I'm having problems stabilizing the still air at 29 degrees. I have them both in my enclosed work room downstairs which has limited draft and temperature fluctuation. I've just tried the "turn knob and remove dust from wafer" technique so lets see how we go. Optimally I'd like to achieve this:
  • Still air model: 29 degrees celcius
  • Fan forced model: 37.5 +- 0.5 degrees celcius, 60% humidity
As I'm quite new to the prospects of dealing with humidity, it's slightly overwhelming. :(

Found a few good links for quail incubation tips. Here's one.
