ok so lets say you have a small heater that isnt cutting it in the colder weather and you have a bigger heater meant for 15-30 gal but would be going in appoximatly 4.5 gal, the catch is there is a thermostat on the the heater which would keep you safe right? ps small water pump

Yes, but small fish heaters CAN be inaccurate. It would most likely keep you in a safe range though.

the box claims 76-80  its at 75 now, taking further insulating steps    maybe the big one on low?

From what I have been told the incubation chamber will never heat up to the exact temperature the thermostat on the heater is set to.  It will typically be five degrees lower.  75 is a good temperature for grain jars.  You would not want to go but maybe 3 degrees higher than that...tops.

yah if you can keep it  on low 75 degrees... thats good. if in the event it gets cooler in your house. insulate with a  blanket or something...

just keep a 5 dollar mercury thermometer in your water to really know whate the ACTUAL temp is.
