"These are great!"

So, in those cases, I find it easier to simply replace it. I was using one of those ubiquitous cheap digital thermometers on Amazon. Ambient room temperature measures 72. I guess these units do not like saltwater. The extra batteries where very much appreciated and came in handy. I have it in both my aquariums now.

"Suction cups are okay."

I've checked it against two other thermometers that are accurate. 6 inch long Bala Sharks that are known to be very unruly and boisterous. Works well in my betta tank, but provide a couple hours for it to read temp changes. When and if we run out of this batch, I'll instantly order another batch. You dont HAVE to stick the display onto your tank. Instead she sent a new package of two, both of which work. This company is taking the long term view of how to do business right.

"2-degrees."

I just wrote it off as a minor loss. My poor fish was in 86 degrees water for a month. Then is started to give a low reading, and it is not reading the correct temperature. Now that the chickens are grown, I have one out in the coop as well. 6F all six took about three minutes to read between 88. I've checked it against two other thermometers that are accurate. All were Close enough for a fish tank and other uses.

"Doing the math."

It works equally well on all of them. I tested this in a cup crammed full of ice and some water. I bent it a little bit and when I put it back it was perfectly fine. 6 inch long Bala Sharks that are known to be very unruly and boisterous. He acted aggressively towards it and so I ultimate ended up removing it due to that. The suction will never be the same. So far, they're all doing their job in my four tanks and I am quite content.

"Love it for my turtles."

Love it, it's easy to read and keeps an accurate temp. So much so that I purchased a second set of 6. I have mine on my 60 gallon cube marine tank. I ordered this guy and it was 6 degrees hotter than the digital! Set all six probes up in a terrarium with a constant temp of 88. Sure enough the digital thermometer was way off by 6 degrees! I've checked it against two other thermometers that are accurate.

"Very easy to read."

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. One being a very expensive digital.

"Which is good."

It's kind of difficult to hide and keep out of the way. The digital display itself is easy to read at a glance. A battery can last you up to six months, I'd say, but expect more like three. The plastic from the suction cup quickly turned from a clear to a milky white. Only thing I don't love is how long the cord is. 50 thermometers, reads much easier and no suction cup residue, also looks better. I can't say which is the most accurate and don't really care.

Excellent working for our bearded dragon tank. Since adding one of these, it has been much easier to monitor the temp of my tanks. I used these on a number of my aquariums that have discus fish in them. I'm pretty sure those reviewers have acrylic tanks. Ambient room temperature measures 72.
