    Whether or not you're worrying about the surface vs. air temp, I've been told that the Acurite is not actually as accurate as people make it out to be LOL. So we would rather trust the temp gun over the acurite, assuming you have a reliable temp gun.

    I had a zoo med temp gun that broke so quickly, and was inaccurate up to 20 degrees! So I trashed it.
