Nope, if you can figure out a way while retaining the water circulation, I'd definitely give it a shot.

Hey pussyfart, did you post that on the wrong thread? Not seeing the relevance here :shrug:

think pussyfart just wanted to point this out so th OP does not think this is to warm above room temp and that it is not needed if this is easily acheivable. When in colder places(less than 70 F) then incubators are key

I read up on TiT's a few weeks back and someone made mention that the aquarium heaters don't always keep a stable temperature, maybe swinging a few degrees here and there.

Can anyone comment on this phenomenon?  Is this an issue anyone has run into?

The solution to the problem was to get a 2 liter plastic bottle, fill with sand and then insert the aqua heater into the bottle. The sand was a buffer for heat swings.

I don't get heat swings because there is constant flow in the water, provided by the bubbles being trapped under the inner tub and splashing to the surface a couple times a minute :shrug:

No need to over-complicate it. I've been running mine for a year now, I won't ever go without it :thumbup:

Is the temp in the corners the same as the temp in the center of the tub?  Does the upper "shelf" get hotter than the lower layer of jars?

Not more than a degree or two. Certainly nothing to worry about. The water sits @ 80F and the inner tub sits at 78F.

You should quit thinking about it and try it, the benefits are pretty nice if you live in a cool climate :derfase:

Well my place hovers between 68-72 so I decided I wanted to keep a steady temp for my grains to colonize @.  I've already been following your "12 steps to getting shit done" page (plus reading the more in depth links that you have for getting shit done :wink:.  So I decided I might as well get a TiT too.  I used transparent 66qt tubs though.  I did this because PussyFart's post..  and I quote....

"Light has been proven beneficial during all stages of mycellium growth. Mushrooms like mammals have a circadian rhythm.

You want ambient/indirect light(on a 12/12 schedule preferably) for colonization and consolidation."

So I decided to keep it transparent and I can also see if the water get's an nastiness in it.  Any thoughts?

I have an incubator with a LTL digital heating temp controller hooked to a space heater set at 78F and it wont go past 79 and by house is never over 70F so idt i will have a problem unless the space heater dries out the substrate!
I am following your 12 step guide right now have grain drying after the 5 minutes med-high boil!

How much more beneficial is the air stone, compared to just the air pump?

Frank,

In your earlier post, you expressed an interest in a better way to circulate the water in the bottom tub.

I have a suggestion, but haven't tried it, but thought I'd share.

I remember from the old days when we needed circulation in the lab, there were "Magnetic Stir Plates".  You could put a stir plate under your tub and drop a magnetic stir rod in the tub, and it would circulate the water... without the "bloop."

I did an intial search for magnetic stir plates and found that they are expensive new.  Perhaps they are available on eBay or Craig's List?  Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/SocalHomeBrew-Magnetic-Stir-Plate/dp/B008F0CTBA/ref=sr_1_22?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1421111497&sr=1-22&keywords=magnetic+stir+plate

Your solution is undoubtedly less expensive, but in the event someone has this equipment lying around... go at it.

How can you use this technique with the BRF Tek fc as you have to drill holes all over the tote box?

You cannot. This is for an incubation chamber not a fruiting chamber. If you need higher fruiting temperatures you'll need to heat the room.
