I’ve had the thermometer in my tank for a couple of weeks now. Right out of the box, it was easy to set up. It comes with a really long cord on the temp probe, which for me is a little excessive. But there are two suction cups to help with cord management. So, you can position the probe exactly where you need it. Beyond that, it’s just a basic thermometer, which is just what I wanted. I was tired of watching my little LCD gauge slowly peel off the side of the aquarium, and this is the perfect affordable solution. The other benefit of the portable nature and the long cord is that I can test the temp of any water I’m putting in the tank. It’s often too cold or too hot coming out of the faucet; now I can get it just right before I do my water changes. I can’t speak to its accuracy, because I don’t have another to compare to, but it seems about right. All in all, a good purchase.

Purchased this for our new tank. The heater has degreed temperature settings. Both are almost exactly matching. What more can one ask for?
Inexpensive. Yes, the price was a factor in my purchase. This thermometer is a good value and I recommend it.

I have a new 90gal SW reef tank with a 50gal sump set up. I needed a digital thermometer that could be reliable, at the same time not break the bank, since my eventual live stock need to be in a certain tempature range. After reading several reviews of the Coralife Digital Thermometer from various vendors, I was a bit nervous in purchasing since some of the reviews reflected inaccurate temp readings….some complaining of even being several degrees off!!..eeek. Since they were rather inexpensive and I was on a limited budget, I went ahead and purchased 2 of them to compare and also have a ‘fail-safe’ set up. I also have a removable digital thermometer already at home in which I have been using and is accurate (tested) to <0.1 degree...but needed a permanant set up.
The delivery was fast from time of order. The CDT came with an attached probe, both of which had suction cups for easy/flexible placement. I placed them in the same area of the sump to see what reading I would get….and to my suprise, they both read exactly the same!!! I compared to my tested removable themometer which indicated that they were reading about 0.5 deg F cooler….which is reasonably managable. This is the only reason I am giving them 4 and not 5 stars.
