    If you only have 1 egg box, put it in the egg box. If you have multiple egg boxes place the prob in between the boxes and thermostats in each egg box.

    Place the probe outside the tub.

    That way you will have less fluctuation on your temperature inside the tub.
    Doesn't change if you have 1,2 or 1000 tubs.

    My probe in the fridge is hanging off the shelf in the middle in between tubs.
