    Question Digital Hygrometers: Which one is more accurate?

    I have a Flukers reading 71% & my Zilla reading 53% humidity.

    Flukers refreshes its display every second or two. Zilla however updates every ~10 mins

    Which one is more accurate? These numbers are too far apart & Zilla never reaches over 55%!

    Ya Flukers seems more accurate judging by the way it updates (almost in real time).

    Thanks for your input. I have some modifications to do in my tub setup!

    Re: Digital Hygrometers: Which one is more accurate?

    Why not upgrade with a temp gun? I think its more important to read the "animals" core temps. Just a thought, otherwise i really enjoy the acu-rite's from walmart!!!

    Re: Digital Hygrometers: Which one is more accurate?

    I'm not too sure if a temp gun would be accurate in my case. Once the lid is opened, numbers start dropping very quickly.

    I don't really like the Acurite (too bulky).

    Flukers along with Zoo Med Thermometers is a good combo IMO.

    Re: Digital Hygrometers: Which one is more accurate?

    Ok I just drilled 5 new holes in the lid.

    Now I'm getting 55% from Flukers & 30% from Zilla lol. What a piece of....
