Can anyone recommend an attractive and accurate thermometer for a small 3.5 gallon tank? I've heard the adhesive strip sort does not work that well and I'd like something more attractive than the plain glass tube kind. And I would like for it not to take up too much space as I don't have much to spare. Are their any nano thermometers that anyone has come across?

Thanks!

Oh that's so cool, I didn't even know digital thermometers existed for aquariums. I saw they even have one that connects to a usb. I may just have to get one!

Thanks!

I agree with King Fisher. I have that digital thermometer and much prefer it over the plain glass tube one I used to have. It reads well, is easy to hide, and makes checking the temperature easy.
 
For me, the digital thermometer fail. The glass tube is like a timex watch
 
I agree with the digital ones , but I have gone to using heater controllers like the Inkbird ones so I don't really check the temps of my tanks because I trust the controller to keep it within reason and I can rely on the controller .

Depends on room temp a lot of times with the built in thermometer settings on the heater. For example, I keep my tanks in a basement and in the winter when it hits 58 degrees down there I would have to set the temp on the heater at 85 degrees to keep my tank at 77 degrees. Lid or no lid also changes things. I always have a back up to compare temps.
 
If you are able check your digital thermometer against something that is accurate. I have a Thermoworks Digital instant read thermometer that is calibrated and is accurate and reads 2 degrees F lower than my digital tank thermometer so you adjust accordingly.
