    ? About egg tub setup

    Ok so it seems to me there are 2 main trains of thought: substrate and substrate-less. Substrate meaning the eggs sit directly on the substrate, and substrate-less meaning the eggs are elevated somehow above the substrate.

    It seems like people have varying amounts of moisture they use in each setting...but from my understanding, with the substrate-less method, you could essentially just put straight water in there and as long as it doesn't slosh on the eggs, you're good. I, personally plan to use some sort of mixture to eliminate sloshing. Now, with this method you need to add water occasionally, right? How do you determine when it's needed?

    Also, looks like most people use press n seal, then put the lid on the tub. Then do an air exchange weekly or so. If I were to put a few holes in the tub, would this eliminate the need to do an air exchange? Or would it let the humidity out too fast?

    And when do you take the press n seal off and just use the tub lid? Obviously, it would be closer to the end, but when?

    So I guess that's a few questions, thanks all!
