Thermometer

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good digital thermometer that is relatively inexpensive. I have a coralife digital thermometer at the moment and realized last night while looking at the packaging that its accuracy rating is +-1.5degrees. That seems to be a lot of room for error. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

i picked up one of those myself and my other one took a splash. i have an electronic temp gun thats pretty accurate +/- .1ÂºF and calibrated. my coralife thermometer is right on with it. the best way to check one is with one of those cheap glass thermometers. they are accurate, and that will let you know if your digital thermometer is off, and how much. then at least you know.
