Not much different than my own setup.

Differences:
1. I use the suction cups that came with the heater instead of tape; the unit hasn't dislodged yet. Not to mention, my heater is all plastic and not easily broken. It also sinks in water and does not float. My heater and temp probe arent as nice as yours but I can't afford that right now anyway. For now my 200W, heavy, plastic, $40.00 pet$mart special will have to do.

2. My top tub is smaller in volume than the bottom tub but the same brand and same lid size so they nest tightly thus eliminating the need for jars in the bottom of the lower tub as spacers. I tie the tubs together with unzipping zip ties. There are two corresponding holes in each tub handle that are perfectly suited for this.

I also use a pond pump to circulate the water and I put a cap full of bleach in the water. I replace evaporated water once a week because it looses very little.

where do you live? its winter time in a lot of places and that means cold dry air, if your relitive humidity is very low and your are using a 1/2 inch diameter hole for air exchange, that hole is too big, you are losing too much moisture in your jars out to the ambient air and your getting stalled growth because of this, make your holes smaller and maybe add a small container of perile to your incubator, remember, you dont want to make it too humid, but you dont want it as dry as the ambient air outside the incubator that is sucking your jars dry. I was having this exact problem, hope this is the same with you, at least then if you can recognise the problem, this one is easily remidied.

Why is there bleach in your water?

I live in a semi-humid climate similar to that of the PNW. My hygrometer reads 89% inside the TiT without added humidification.

It is still winter here...I thought that could be a large part of the problem.

Room temp: 68 deg F
Incubator ambient air temp: 77 deg F
Incubator floor (water) temp: 86 deg F

I'm thinking I'll try insulating the lid (1" styrofoam insulation board) to retain heat inside the incubator and place a 3/4" rubber floor mat - with holes in it) on the bottom of the incubator to keep the bottom of the jars from getting too warm. I'll loose a little volume inside the incubator but that's ok.

I put a cap full of bleach in the water to help keep it from harboring bacteria.
