    I have one of those digital temperature probes for my 90 gallon tank. Where is the best place to put the sensor. I have had it in the fuge and in the DT at the bottom. I'm sure the MH lights will mess with it so thought I would throw this one out there. If there is any better recommendations, I will gladly take them!

    Thanks

    I put mine mid-level in the DT. You want to keep them as far away from the heaters as possible.

    In the water,few inches below but not anywhere near powerheads & heaters etc, this can give you a false reading...
