Keeping down the top TiT tub?
    #7768645 - 12/17/07 09:25 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

A friend of mine just set up his TiT, but the top tub will only float on the water below, even with a few bricks in it. How should he keep the top tub down?

I tried searching the forum for him, but nothing came up.

Try using 4 Zip Ties.... one on each corner.

you can drill some holes and use zip ties to hold the top container down...
at least that is what some people do.


I prefer using this type of a TIT setup...

I use 2 different size Rubbermaid's.
The smaller one goes inside the bigger one...so you won't crush the submersible aquarium heater.


Put the submersible aquarium heater in the larger (bottom) Rubbermaid or container.
add your water.


Then put the smaller Rubbermaid or container into the larger one.


Play with the temp setting on the submersible aquarium heater, in the bottom container...until you dial the heat in to 81 degrees F. inside the top container.
Then put your jars inside the top container...and shut the lid on the top.
Set it and forget it...lol








with this TIT setup there is a 4" to 5" clearance between the 2 tubs...

so you don't have to worry about the top one floating.

When I used a TiT, I also found it trick to get the top tub down, but before I finally got it weighted down I would just let it float, and the internal temp of the top tub still rose to desired levels.
However it did fluctuate way more than the submerged top tub.

i used planks of wood. 6" wide by about 1/2 thick. I cut about 2 8" lengths and then screwed into them through the bottom and top tub (with washers)
