Buffy's 1st Ever SW Build - Reef Tank

Digi-Temp Digital Thermometer by JBJ - English

Temporarily out of stock, but worth waiting for. $10

Thanks, but it shows outside temp, I can't see where it measure inside temp. Does it do that with the 41" problem and the digital part is the only part outside the tank?


Thanks, I like the size of those numbers too.

No, the probe it has sucker cups on it. It goes in the tank, or the sump. I think the big numbers adds a safety factor, it sits outside the tank.

Thanks, That's a tad bit cheaper than the other ones. Since the digital sits out of the water, then it may very well last longer than the ones that go inside. Gonna see if I can get on the backorder list. Woohoo Saves 10 more dollars to go to Drs. Foster and Smith to spend. I'd really like to bring something home from there. I have 10 gallon to use as a qt with nothing in it, I'm gonna buy their acclimation drip kit while I'm there (hopefully that have it at the store and not just online), Maybe I can just order online and pickup, I don't know which way would be cheaper...Onder and pick up or, just buy it there, as I'm not sure if the retail has it online and vices versa.

Here's the temp thermometer instock JBJ DIGI TEMP DIGITAL THERMOMETER AQUARIUM REEF\ on eBay!

Thank you. I can't get it to load on my phone so I will look when I get home.

That one looks okay, but I prefer one with a wire to the probe so the display can be located out where you can easily see it. I also like the battery and electronics to be as far from the saltwater as I can get them.

I like that idea. I have 8 tanks so I will be needing more anyway. This way I can compare. And document differences and stuff thanks guys.

Golf clap, and a pat on the back for you. You finely made it

Livestock

Ok, I just finally figured out how to get back into photobucket, got the pictures off my pc that I like so far and put them in photobucket (I hope I got the right names with the livestock). I don't know if this is gonna work but from what I understand it's a link to the whole album. Please go take a gander, and if there's a "guest book" please sign so I know you where there, feel free to leave comments also if there's a space for it, Don't know much bout photobucket yet.

Remember now, if my parameters are good come friday morning, I want to come home from live aquaria WITH SOMETHING.

Here ya go. Hope it works.....User name for photobucket is mehuman2, that way you know it's me.

Didn't look like the one on bulk reef supply I thought I saw. It looked like it had a wired probe. Don't buy one that depends on a "water tight" battery/electronics package. You just want a probe in the water. Sorry to set off the "oh no you don't" crowd, my mistake.

I was wanting a probe kind, the research/reviews I have come across.... ALL of them had water tight problems within a few months. I'd rather I read on the outside and probe on the inside. Thank you for your help. I gotta go look at those now that I'm home and before I get started on my rock. I made a new thread about qt, would you check it over if you have time and provide some insite?

Thanks

Go with the glass one. If you have a good calibrated thermometer, like for humans, you can put both in a glass of warm water and calibrate your glass thermometer to something you trust.

How do you calibrate them. Are there screws or something on them to adjust to the "accurate" one?

 

[Buffy]

Pffffft.. who needs safty glasses!

I have about 4 pair, however I can never find them when I want them.

Should I wear my hardhat, gloves and steel toes too?

 

[Ibrahim]

I'm pretty sure by calibrate he means to mark the wrong thermometer. Ex. If the correct thermometer says 78 degrees and the wrong one says 84 then mark 78 degrees at where it says 84.
