"So I guess I needed them!"

This thermometer is spot on accurate. So much so that I purchased a second set of 6. Still a recommendation for me due to price and accuracy. Personally I do not mind the way it looks in my aquarium. The digital display is nice and small as well. A bit large for anything smaller than 5 gallons, but that's to be expected. This is my first 5 star review out of many many reviews on Amazon.

"I like this."

A bit large for anything smaller than 5 gallons, but that's to be expected. Now I'm getting back in on a much smaller scale with 3 gallon Acrylic Nano tanks. The digital display itself is easy to read at a glance. They are within a degree or two of other thermometers I've checked to compare them. I am extremely pleased with this product. He acted aggressively towards it and so I ultimate ended up removing it due to that. This temperature read a perfect 32 degrees.

"THERE'S MORE!"

Was going to get a floater until I saw this magnetic one! 82 PER THERMOMETER with battery included. If the digital display starts to get dim, it's time for a new battery. And is easily hidden behind a plant. So far, they're all doing their job in my four tanks and I am quite content. I tested this in a cup crammed full of ice and some water. Sure enough the digital thermometer was way off by 6 degrees!

"The hotter, the faster."

I've checked it against two other thermometers that are accurate. Love it, it's easy to read and keeps an accurate temp. A bit large for anything smaller than 5 gallons, but that's to be expected. A battery can last you up to six months, I'd say, but expect more like three. I have to admit I had two reasons for buying six. However, Lucy at Zacro read this review and emailed me.

6 in a pack, extra batteries, easy set up, great price. Ambient room temperature measures 72. If the digital display starts to get dim, it's time for a new battery. I've checked it against two other thermometers that are accurate. A bit large for anything smaller than 5 gallons, but that's to be expected. The temperature fluctuated a lot with it.

"Versatile."

Have checked them against the glass thermometers and the accuracy is right on. 50 thermometers, reads much easier and no suction cup residue, also looks better. The units each had a battery in place and situated for immediate use. In this scenario it would probably get knocked loose a lot. One of my aquariums is glass, and the other two are plastic. So far, they're all doing their job in my four tanks and I am quite content. Then is started to give a low reading, and it is not reading the correct temperature.

"Super easy."

Excellent working for our bearded dragon tank. These things are useful for a lot besides pet husbandry, too. I ordered a new one and it works GREAT! I bent it a little bit and when I put it back it was perfectly fine. I used these on a number of my aquariums that have discus fish in them.

"Works perfect."

I got the second one as a bonus that I'm now using in my old tank. 2 deg, if it was 32, it would be a SOLID block of ice. Bought the two pack of thermometers.

"Very accurate."

Checked with temp gun and the terrarium was on target at 88. It will make you wonder why nobody thought of it before. The units each had a battery in place and situated for immediate use. Good cheap accurate aquarium thermometer. Just BE CAREFUL WHEN ADJUSTING, IT IS GLASS AND WILL BREAK. He acted aggressively towards it and so I ultimate ended up removing it due to that.

"Perhaps it's my fault."

You can use the thermometer with or without the plastic suction cup. For the price I'll probably end up putting these in all of my aquariums. They are within a degree or two of other thermometers I've checked to compare them. I needed a solution that was not breakable and these do the trick! Only thing I don't love is how long the cord is. I'm pretty sure those reviewers have acrylic tanks. He acted aggressively towards it and so I ultimate ended up removing it due to that.

"Great little thermometer."

The temperature fluctuated a lot with it. I ordered a new one and it works GREAT! Then is started to give a low reading, and it is not reading the correct temperature. 6 inch long Bala Sharks that are known to be very unruly and boisterous. These things are useful for a lot besides pet husbandry, too. It is my opinion that everyone should have these that are in the Aquarium Hobby. The non-working ones still provide 2 batteries each AND.

"All you need."

Far more accurate than the usual small glass ones or external LCD strips. When I set up my newest tank I will be getting another one of these. This is how you calibrate a thermometer. I got root rot after light leaks and high water temps. I removed the batteries of the units I wasn't using right away. Just BE CAREFUL WHEN ADJUSTING, IT IS GLASS AND WILL BREAK. If the digital display starts to get dim, it's time for a new battery.

"Sticks easy."

I was using one of those ubiquitous cheap digital thermometers on Amazon. The suction cups work well anywhere I have placed it it has not Fallen. The units each had a battery in place and situated for immediate use. Just BE CAREFUL WHEN ADJUSTING, IT IS GLASS AND WILL BREAK. I recommend gluing the suction cups in place where needed for long-term installation. And for the price you cant beat it. I tested this in a cup crammed full of ice and some water.

"Suction cups fail."

I am extremely pleased with this product. I have bought many many temperature gauges for my various fish tanks over the years. I was using one of those ubiquitous cheap digital thermometers on Amazon. 6F all six took about three minutes to read between 88. Simple fix, you adjust the thermometer within the suction cup and VIOLA! When and if we run out of this batch, I'll instantly order another batch. I had my heater set at 73-degrees and the thermometers showed 74.

  • Is a long version that easily attaches to your tank with the suction cap provided.

"2 deg of 32."

I'm pretty sure those reviewers have acrylic tanks. I recommend gluing the suction cups in place where needed for long-term installation. Have checked them against the glass thermometers and the accuracy is right on. I removed the batteries of the units I wasn't using right away. These digital thermometers are great and there is no guesswork involved. Now I'm getting back in on a much smaller scale with 3 gallon Acrylic Nano tanks. It worked great and I highly recommend it!

Personally I do not mind the way it looks in my aquarium. Simple fix, you adjust the thermometer within the suction cup and VIOLA! 89 I could buy Six Thermometers with Six included batteries.

"Suction cups are okay."

This temperature read a perfect 32 degrees. As you can see from my photos, in both°F and°C, all six are within. The lid is textured aluminum, and the suction cups don't stick to that. You can use the thermometer with or without the plastic suction cup. I recommend gluing the suction cups in place where needed for long-term installation. This is my first 5 star review out of many many reviews on Amazon. Since it is a mercury thermometer, it is very accurate.
