To avoid temperature stratification, use a water bubbler.

u dont need the water, in fact imao it increases chances of contams, if ur using a heating pad instead of an aquarium heater, the just put the heating pad on the top shelf of ur closet , and set the jars next to it(not on top of it , but beside it

Use a tub in tub.




The little pump is in there to mix the water up so it heats from all sides rather then just the bottom.

A friend of mine got a 4 inch/7.5 watt heater for small 2-5 gallon tanks, will this be sufficent?? It also dosn't have a thermostat so should he put it on a timer? You seem to know whats up. Any help would be great.

If your containers are small enough (=<3gl.) you should be fine. You don't want it on a timer since you couldn't keep a steady temp then. Get a thermometer and put it inside the incubator (with the jars, not the water). Adjust the temperature according to the themometer every 30 min until you have a steady 80-85 F. Check it to see if it stays the same temp until you have complete faith in it. If you want to go any bigger though, go with a 25 watt heater at least.

Mahgosh Magash,
  What kind of pump is that you are using to stir the water? And from the looks of it I don't think you really need those zip-ties to hold down the tub, its got enough weight. :smile:

The pump is one of those out of the little fountains that go on a table. 60 gph is the rating. You can get them at Home Depo or at any pet store.

Sometimes things grow in dixie cups.
