Thermometer
Seams like a simple question but does anyone make a quick glance thermometer that’s worth anything? When you read the reviews of what is out there it seems like there not very good. I don’t feel the need for a fancy apex type system I just want to be able to check temp at a glance.

Something like this?
https://clearchoiceaquatics.com/coll...al-thermometer Or are you looking for one that's always in the tank? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I have a Cooper, very similar to the one shown, that is the best way to really double check all your equipment.

I was thinking something that you could leave in all the time. I give everything a quick check before work. My heater used to have a digital readout but it died. Some of those don’t have very good reviews ether. One of the most important pieces of equipment and it seems the quality is lacking.

I've never had a problem with a simple floating thermometer... well besides the suction cup letting go after a while... or my urchin hauling it around with him
 Similar to this.. https://www.chewy.com/marina-floatin...tion/dp/131461 I've even used that stick on strip that goes on the outside of the tank with great results.. Its as accurate as needed

Don’t know why I fight the urge to keep it simple.

I use ranco etc temp controllers for my heaters. They have a long history and are well regarded. Not overly expensive and will save your tank in the case of a heater malfunction. Easy to read display.
Then... every tank has a floating thermometer. Cant go wrong there!
