    Those are fine but they are more for giving you the ambient(air) temp. They are not the best for giving surface temps. The IR temp gun is perfect for that and it will allow you to know what every surface in the tank is at.

    Look on Amazon. They have many to choose from and are pretty cheap. Make sure to read the reviews to pick the best one you can.

    Look for Benetech GM300 temp gun, it's about $15 and works well when held 2 - 6 inches away.
