xoshagsox Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I use a Coralite digital thermometer. Link to comment
Blu50Stang Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I've got a Coralife digital thermometer, too. Link to comment
Web Guy Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I have two Coralife Digital Thermometers. Just in case one craps out for $10 well worth the back up. Plus I wanted to see how accurate they were. Link to comment
Bobbozr2 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Coralife Digital here as well. :pirate: Link to comment
artarmon42 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Lifeguard Big Temperature which I think is reasonably accurate. It has remote temp sensor plus high/low alert. ETI Digital Thermometer which I bought from a guy in the UK. It has C and F, remote sensor, high/low alert PLUS maximum and minimum. That max/min tells me the highest/lowest recorded temperature since the last time the unit was reset. This allows me to see what the lowest overnight temperature was, without have to be awake zzz. I like the ETI best (it's small, it has the most features), but the remote sensor is consistently ~1 degree (F) higher that what the Lifeguard and my LCD-glass thermometer says. For the record, the ETI with the "higher" reading is what I quoted throughout my MH thread. Better to err on the high side Link to comment
bobioden Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I just got this one from Radio Shack. It shows room and tank temp. Plus, has a memory for min. and max. temps for the day. Bob Duel Display Thermometer Link to comment

bobioden Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Originally posted by Web Guy That thing is HUGE.... If you are refering to the one from Radio Shack. It is 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". Easy to read, and so far seems very accurate. Bob Link to comment
Web Guy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I have to say that the coralife ones one very inaccurate. The temps flucuates if you watch it. Mine can go from 80 to 80.9 in a second some time. I am going out today for another one and a new heater. Link to comment

dweakl01 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 green suction cup style w/mercury inside from WalMart...$0.99 Link to comment
Web Guy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I have had mine for 2 weeks and man I don't know what the temp is anymore. I watched it last night and it was bouncing all over from 80.0 to 80.9 withing 3 seconds. Again, I was like WTF?...I am going up to radio shack to buy that larger one so I can also know my room temps. I will run both and see what happens. Link to comment
Web Guy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I have one of those as well but you cant tell really where it is at with that either. Link to comment
