It's really about finding what works for YOU.
What I do is the same each year, perfect amount of moisture that leads to ZERO condensation up until 1 week from hatching, no holes and no glad press and seal, no risk of water sloshing when the tub is moved, no risk of low humidity that make the eggs dimple, no worry just put the egg in and forget about them until the week before they hatch.
My recipe for up to 8 eggs
7 Quarts Tubs
6 cups of vermiculite
4 cups of water
Egg crate
89 degrees incubation
Serve when done
Of course it works for me because of the way my incubator is set and the type of incubator I use.
My advice experiment with different mediums and find what you like best
