    Upgraded Tank to Accurite Thermometer!

    So I went to walmart today and picked up an Accurite Thermometer that measures indoor/outdoor with probe and humidity....I was using those stick on dial ones to measure hot/cold side and humidity and they where pretty much right on with a difference of only a few degrees, which suprised me i thought i was going to be in for a rude awakening when i hooked up the new digtal thermometer.....

    It was only like 11 dollars so its more than reasonable and i feel more at ease knowing its digital and can record highs and lows for if im not home for a few days....


    Im happy I picked this up even thought the regular dial temps/humidity where reading pretty dang close to this...

    Hi,

    Cool.

    So what are the readings when you put the base unit on the ground of the cool side and the probe inside the hot side hide?

    Give them about30-60 minutes to settle at first just to be certain.

    Hi,

    Pretty cool temps.

    Once you know what you got the fine tuning becomes a doddle.

    Ethnocentrism took the day
    I do, however, have a tablet of paper into which I take note of all of these words; so I do try to whittle away at my culture-bound visors
