    I have a Fluval in the sump, A floating hydrometer/thermometer, and a digital thermometer inside the tank suctioned to glass. All 3 are about a degree or two off from eachother in thier temp ranges. This normal? Should I buy a better one?

    A degree or two is pretty good actually. Generally I have not found the digital ones to be accurate. The floating alcohol ones seem to be much more reliable.
