Digital thermometer

[bruinsboy70]

I was wondering what type of thermometers people are using
I have been using the glass liquid ones but am thinking about going to a digital ones. Any suggestions?

I use both just because I dont trust digital alone. I had a cheap digital on my old tank that ended up being almost 5* off. I went back to a glass type for that reason, then when I picked up my apex it came with a temp probe. The apex probe is almost dead on with the glass one but ill keep both in as a failsafe.

The digital ones are really nice, but they tend to get less accurate as they get older. I use them, but I occasionally compare them with a glass one just to see if they're wearing out. I also use those strips on the outside of the tank as one more way to keep an eye on things.

I use a hanna handheld temp and TDS to check the newly mixed water. Otherwise, I read the temps from my controller.

I have a Lifegard Big Digital temp probe with alarm. I love it and it is easy to read. I also have 2 cobalt neotherm digital heaters with led read outs - one in sump and one in corner overflow. Both of these tell temp as well.

Keep your eye open for the "arduino group build"

I think the first project will be a temp controller

I bought something similar to this from Radio Shack...as long as the wired sensor is sealed, it will be fine. I've had mine for over 10yrs...works great.

Thanks for all the input. I will continue to use the liquid tube type but need to add a digital because my eyes don't see as well as they used too

For a hand-held digital we love this one, we got from a brewing catalog.
