Title: Easy to read thermometer
Post by: Fishwife on September 25, 2019, 08:23:28 AM

I’m old. I need glasses. Even with my glasses on, I squint at the thermometer and wonder if I’ve read it right.
Please can anyone recommend a basic, stick inside the tank thermometer that’s easy to read. I don’t particularly want some new fangled digital thing  :D

I use a basic, cheap, thermometer, the kind with a sucker to hold it onto the glass. But I also have a magnifying glass which makes it much easier to read. The main problem with this type of thermometer is that the suckers stop working and the thermometer drifts round with the water flow. I have lots of wood in my tanks so I try to use a bit of wood to wedge the thermometer in position.

Magnifying glass is a good idea, I shall give it a go  :)
