Thermometers

[Anthrax15]

Looking to replace my cheapo little thermometer. Looking for suggestions. Im willing to spend around $50 or so for a really accurate one. Im running two 150w Eheim Jagers.

I use one of the Coralife digital ones in my sump.

me too and I hate them. I have two and the are always just over 2 degrees different from each other.

What if I were to go with something like these two:

Would it not function properly being in saltwater? I dont mind having to dip the prob in to read the temp. I just need something that is balls to the wall accurate.

These look pretty promising:

Get yourself a Ranco or a Medussa temp controller and use it not only for a reliable temp reading and to bypass your heaters' internal thermostat. I prefer the Ranco, personally.

+1 on the ranco. Used them for years when I was into reptiles.

How about the DA Lifeguard? It's a little more than $50, but it also monitors PH and water level.

What ever you get buy a kitchen(cooking) thermometer also that you can calibrate and compare to the one you do use.

For a few dollars more, get a RKL; their temp readings are very accurate IME!

Ronco's are great! I have one inline with both of my reefs and they are my primary heater controls, I use the RKE's as a fail safe with the Ranco, no fried fish yet!
