Jcreate Aquarium Thermometer Review
 Rated #2 Digital Thermometer
Rated #1 Probe-Less Digital Thermometer
This thermometer really surprised me. You stick it on the outside of your tank. It has a backside temperature sensor. I thought this will not measure the water temperature accuracy! Oh how I was wrong, it is very accurate at measuring the temperature.
I love the large LED display making it easy for you to read the temperature.
Operation:
- We already inserted battery in the red battery cover below the LCD Screen ,the LCD will now display the current temperature.
- Tear off the paper, stick this device on to a transparent tinted background.
- If you want to switch ℃ / °F, click ”up“or “down“ key on the screen.
- There is a flash function, The big number will flash if the water temperature is higher than the highest temperature or lower than the lowest temperature you set.

Features:
- Clear To Read LCD Display
- Stick-on Outside of Tank
- Easy to Apply Suction Cup
- Temperature Output C + F
- Thermometer size: 76*76*7mm / 3.0*3.0*0.28 inch

Lifegard Aquatics Digital Temp Alert Review
 Rated #6 Digital Thermometer
Rated #1 Expensive Digital Thermometer
I for me this is the best product I have reviewed. The only reason why I did not rate this as #1 is because of its price. Currently it is selling for $42.52 on Amazon.
This product has a lot more features than the others which include an alarm if the water temperature goes below or above what you set.
It also displays two temperatures, the room temperature and the water temperature. It also uses a AAA battery which I like as this is a higher capacity battery compared to the other products.
This product also comes with a stand or sticky back which enables you to easily place it on your aquarium tank.

Features:
- Large LCD Display
- Displays Room + Water Temperature
- Measures Temperature Accurately
