What am i doing wrong (incubation)

my incubation chamber is like this i have a big tub filled almost all the way up with water then inside is a lil tub with my jars in it and when i put the lid on the big tub it pushes the lil one under water until it comes up about an inch or two above the jars in the little one.
the reason its like this is because i bought two same size tubs and tried to do it how everyone else is but i cant seem to keep the top tub down the tek said use bricks but i filled the whole thing with bricks (didnt even have room for the jars) but it was still floatin. i even have this fake rock that weighs like 60 or 70 pounds and when i put that on top it only pushes the top tub under the water a few inches. i tried even takin water out but it was to low. i dont get it am i missin somethin?
i kinda dont care cause the way i have it is doin the same thing as the other way, my jars are growin and all just wonderin what im doin wrong.

Dont fill the bottom tub completely with water. Only have a few inches on the bottom with water so that when you put the top tub on, those few inches of water go up the sides a bit

I asked this same exact question many years ago,
two words..
ZIP TIES.
saved my life!
oh, then you can get rid of the bricks... and wash the incubator back out, bricks are nasty, then ... make sure you can stick your fingers down inbetween and fill water, and be sure to put some bleach in the water, or you're gonna have some stinky ass stagnant smelling shit come out of there...
just some pointers i've picked up along the way.

Or do yourself a favor and just toss the whole TiT setup like I did.

zip ties.
if you want to colonize jars on a shelf fine, wait 23 days or more, use an incubator and get done in like 10
