I don't know if I've ever seen a 1 gallon pickle jar, would a quart jar be big enough, or is a large jar vital to distribute the heat more efficiently?

My fish heater is like 8+ inches tall so I had to get a jar/container that tall or taller. I found mine at Wal-Mart. Maybe try a wholesale grocery store.

Ok, but do you think a quart jar could do the job if the heater fits? The heater I plan to use is about 7-8" long, but it wouldn't all have to fit in the jar, some could stick out the top and be sealed to the lid with some silicone or something.

My friend doesnt use a TiT. In fact, untill just recently, he didnt even know what it stood for.
What he uses is a Sunbeam Heat pad, set over his small Rubbermaid tub, which is inside the bottom cabnet of a nightstand, so i guess it could be a version of a TiT, but it has no water in it at all. Its on its lowest setting and it reaches temps of about 80 deg f, perfect for incubating. If I wanted, it has 5 diff settings I beleive. Thing cost about $30, so I guess it was a pretty good deal. Also, He's never had any problems with heat distrobution either. It heats pretty evenly if you have the mat lying on top of the closed tub, inside the cabnet.
-------------------- "Mans unfailing capacity to beleive what he prefers to be true, rather than what evidence proves to be likely and possible, has always astounded me. We longe for a caring universe that will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary, we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest doubts. God hasnt been proven not to exist, therefore, he must exist!" "Einstein would turn over in his grave! Not only does God play dice, but the dice are loaded." "Some would ask, Why would a perfect god create a universe that if filled with so much evil. They have missed a greater conumdrum. Why would a perfect god create a universe at all?"
