I must admit I started with a hovabator and gave it away.
I now use a brinsea and put a takeaway tub full of water in at the same level as the eggs as opposed to in the rings in the bottom as I had a lot of problems last year with humidity and babies dieing in the shell so this way I seem to get good humidity levels and can clean out the water tray very easy so no nasty stale water that might of been growing bugs.
Don't give up on it though as I know someone who uses them with good results but try a bigger tub in there with the biggest surface area you can find.
