Measureing temp
I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out what my tanks temp is. I have two coralife digital meters, one lifeguard digital meter, one glass float thermometer, and the temp my chiller reads. Here's my problem.
coralife #1 says 74.1 coralife #2 says78.5 lifeguard says 79.4 glass float thermometer says about 77.8 or 9 chiller says 77.9 Now the chiller is adjustable which I have moved around. I don't know which device to believe in. Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone know a temp device that reads accrete? Hobby Experience: 15 years Current Tanks: 110g tank, 95% SPS, two 400w 14k's, 30g sump/refugium, euror reef skimmer, K2R reactor, JBJ 1/4 chiller, lots of love. Interests: reefs/acros/muscle cars |

I bought a thermometer from Cole-Parmer that was calibrated and had guaranteed accuracy. That's one approach.

I feel your pain.
This has dogged me for many years. My Lifeguard read low for a couple of years, now it reads high. The Coralifes I bought in the past frustrated me so much I thew them in the trash. I currently still use my Lifeguard but have adjust the actual reading by 1.3 degrees (based on a good reference). Believe it or not, I also have one of those that you peel and stick on the outside of the tank and it is pretty close all the time. |

I just got a glass one from the Cole-Parmer web site. It was made by another company, I think.
