Where Is Best To Put

[Behold]

Should i put it the far corner to my heater or nearer it?

Also will the heater be fine next to the filter inlet???

Thanks

my thermometer is rite beside the intake pipe for the filter. All the water passes by it at some point so gives a fairly good reading.

further away fromt he heater as possible. this way it gives a general reading of what the water is like through out the tank and not just teh heat from the heater. if you can get a stick on thermometer it would be better. i have mine in teh far bottom left hand corner of my tank.

^Pretty much what he said - ive got an led thermometer in the oppsite corner to the heater & filter. That way if that parts up to temp - the rest will be (i think that makes some sence anywhoo lol)

Anywhere you like ! You are looking for consistancy, NOT accuracy. As far as my findings go, the £1.50 LCD stick ons are way better than the £20 digital gizmos...

I hate the look of those digial ones.

I have the manual intank one as im mesuring the water not the glass. eitherway i was not paying 20 quid!!!

Yeah, everyone i know who has a digital one has a cheapy one too to test the digital one's accuracy.

Why they bother, i don't know.

I have two thermometers either side of tank so i can get an average reading

well i have two heaters, one on each side of my tank, so i cant really put mine far away from my heaters, so i put it up against my out pipe of my filter.
