one thing that sort of bothers me is that my new chiller, ACIII, ACJR, old chiller and heater thermostat all seem to read slightly different temperatures. this is fine except if you are running your tank at 80 degrees and your thermometer is reading 1.5 degrees off and you are at 81.5
I am in the beginning stages of organizing a group buy of lab grade thermometers that can be used to calibrate electronic offset on controllers and thermostats. I am considering 2 different ones. the first one is 12" long and reads 74.5 to 79.5 degrees and is graduated to the 1/10. it will be expensive, probably over $100, the other one I am looking at is bit shorter only 11 inches, reads from 66 to 80 degrees and is graduated to 1/5 degree but it is a lot cheaper, in the range of $35-$45 depending on what I can negotiate.
personally, I like the better one but I think that we will all find that 1/5 degree is far better than we need.
it seems to me that it would be great for a club to have
