    i have those coralife digital thermometers on all my tanks. well yesterday during a water change i decided to calibrate one in a 30 gal. it was off by 5 degrees. the whole time, maybe the last year i thouhgt this tank was 80 degrees but it was really 85. i think i will be double checking these thermomters every couple months from now on.

      Mine didn't even last a year.  :( I ended up throwing them all away and getting a floating glass thermometer.

          Even some of those floating glass ones are off. I put 2 of them in one tank and there was a 3 or 4 degree difference between them.

            Pinpoint wireless thermometers are fairly priced for the quality and each control head can read two tanks wirelessly so its cool.
