Thermometers

[wen tom]

Hi, I'm concerned about the way all my thermometers vary. From 74-78. Any suggestions? Thanks

Pick one as the master. Pick a temperature and try to be consistent with that temperature. Being consistent is more important than the actual temperature.

Thanks so much, is 74 degrees OK?

I don't know what animals you have. What I recommend is to pick your most sensitive animals, research where they have the densest population in the wild and then use something near the average temperature from that area.

Examples:

Catalina Goby - Population density in shallow water around Santa Catalina Island - average shallow water temperature = ~60F.

Red Sea Xenia - Population density in shallow Southern Red Sea - average shallow water temperature = ~85F

Thank you.
