[GSAS-Member] Is it hot in here? - Aquarium Thermometers

["Shango Los" <Shango@shangolos.com>]

Hello friends,

 

I have been struggling with my thermometers to get a stable, controlled
temperature reading in my tanks.  I am losing the fight and need your
experience.

 

Right now I am testing all three of my thermometers in one tank.  They are
all intertwined to make sure they are reading the same area of the tank.
The thermometers are reading 74.4, 77.4, and 80.4.  Lame.

 

I bought the thermometers for $6.99 each on ebay.  They are the digital kind
with the cord.  They look like this.as a matter of fact I think these are
exactly the ones I have.

So.

 

I know that the tape strips on the tank are said to be terrible.  The
digital style I have might be good but I bought a cheap brand, maybe?

 

What is the solution?  What technology do I use that is going to be
accurate?  If it is expensive, so be it.  Temperature is too vital to go
cheap on it after spending so much other money to make a beautiful tank.

 

Please guide me.

 

Thanks in advance.
