This is what works for me. 6 qt shoe or egg box actually, about 3/4 of an inch of Peralite in the bottom of the box. Put water to the top of the perlite and then cut a rectangle of the (egg crate) light difuser that fits into the box and lay it on top of the perlite and water mix. Just make sure you dont put so much water into it that the perlite floats and when you set the difuser down onto it the water comes up through the grating because you are going to set your eggs ontop of the plastic grating and it works wonderful for me.
