The fish tank method led to high humidity, which in turn made me leave larger holes open to help lower it. If you are willing to do so, maybe drill a few holes towards the lower end (small holes) to help with the humidity? If you drill too many, you can duct tape a few of them to raise it again. I'm not too sure how well this method would work, but I know that leave a hole open in the top of the fish tank helped my problem. I now use a hovabator for my leopard gecko eggs, as I didn't feel like dealing with the other setup again. Humidity was a problem I noticed with my homemade incubator as well.
