Hey, that's the best one I've seen yet. However, it would be nice to do away with so my stuff around the aquarium. I suppose the remotes can be mounted on a wall so they don't fall in the tank. I kind of like my infra-red thermometer for $20. I notice there are spots in the tank that warmer and cooler.

I've been pleased with it so far and if you buy extra probes, it will read temps in up to 4 tanks on the same display. I'm not sure if it was the "best" buy for my money but, I'm impressed by technology and it has been accurate.
