whats your heater set on? I dont know but most the teks recommend a 200w i believe, i use a 300w. Someone with more knowledge might better help you isolate your problem but check into that for the time being.

100W should be plenty. if you have to, just toss a blanket over top.

Depending on the temp of the room your TIT is in...the 100 watt heater might be too small.

I have one TIT that has a 100 watt submersible heater... its in my furnace room that stays at 73 to 76 degrees F.
The TIT only reaches 82 degrees F....cause the 100 watt heater is maxed out.
But I like 81 degrees F for inucubation.
So...I'd say that you need a bigger submersible heater my friend.

yep...try the blanket wrapped around the TIT first.
No use spending another $30 or so bucks on another heater til you try to make the one you have work.

oh good old walmart, they will take anything back. Once upon a time my girlfriends parents bought a pound or so of peppered turkey from the deli. Left it on the table overnight and the next day. HEY this meat is rotted! Lets return it! ...and they did for a full refund /sigh

Good call
I wouldn't go over 200 watts either.
The heater will turn on and off too much...which will wear it out faster...or so I have been told.

Incubator set up.
1. First thing get your bottom tub and put in your heater. I also add a water pump to mix the water that way it heats up much more evenly but it isn?t a necessary item. I got the tape from a boat shop and it has been working for some time. Good stuff for underwater.
2. Next put something (I used tall half pints) in each corner of the tub. This will keep the heater and pump safe from being smashed if I put in to many jars or do something stupid.
3. Now be sure to set the heater before you put on the top tub. I attach the top tub with zip ties cause the top tub will want to float.
4. Add the water. I like to add as much water as I can before it starts to spill out.
5. If you use the heaters with the external controls set them now to get ready for the jars. Mine use a dial and a sensor that gives the temp inside the chamber rather then the water. It also has a metal bulb rather then a glass one.
6. Finished

My TiT is 2 10 gallons with a 50w heat supply. the temp in my house is pretty much right around 70. The temp is maxed out on the submersible and my incubator is constantly at 86 degrees, no worries.
-------------------- ~Skipp "I like cigarettes, Miss Taggart. I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come alive from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind---and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression."

what if the temperature in your room with the TiT drops down to the 30's? and 40's? anyway to keep it at around 80 degrees?

Use two heaters and a power head (water pump) to keep the temp correct.

Wattage does matter, a 50w heater wil take forever to heat 30g tank wheres a 300w won't take long at all and it'll keep the temp more consistent
