Pinpoint Wireless Thermometer. Awesome.
You could even put it by your bed at night to ease your worries as long as your bedroom is withing 100ft of your tank.

I use the coralife digital it is much less pricey than the pinpoints.

I use the coralife digital it is much less pricey than the pinpoints and still fairly accurate.

Analog Thermometer
I recommend the $40 Miller & Weber TM-9301 PerformaTherm non-mercury thermometer from: http://www.hmalabsupply.com/index.ph...pshop&Itemid=1
It is a foot long with a 66 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range. The 0.2-degree increments are 1 mm apart. Its blue liquid is very easy to see. It does not drift and I use it to calibrate my temperature controller and Eheim Jager heaters every few months. Don’t buy an electronic thermometer unless you have a way to calibrate it for drift. Even my Medusa HC-150 controller can drift a degree every few months. My Eheim Jager heater can drift up to 5 degrees. An alternative is the nearly identical A-20 from http://www.sealifesupply.com/prclst2.htm. It is also made by Miller & Weber, costs $24 and contains mercury. |

It's hard to beat an analog thermometer built to ASTM standards, such as the Miller & Weber TM-9301. You can even get a NIST certificate with it. It requires no battery to run dry. It will not corrode with salt. There is no sensor probe to replace and recalibrate. Unless you drop it, it will last a lifetime.
The non-toxic blue liquid and the 0.2-degree increments that are 1-mm apart are very easy to read - down to 0.1 degrees. It will not drift like electronic thermometers. All electronic thermometers must be periodically calibrated with analog thermometers such as these. (http://www.hmalabsupply.com/index.ph...pshop&Itemid=1) |
