Digital thermometer recommendations please!!

What are the better digital thermometers to get? I have the $7 coral life ones, but don't think they're too accurate. I have one in my saltwater mixing drum, one in my QT and two in my DT. I put three in my QT to test them and all three varied by at least a 2 full degrees.

I don't think you need to worry as much as you are. As long as your tank looks healthy, and your temperature is relatively stable you should be fine.

I use the two little fishes one. I use it as my main temp gauge.

I have a thermapen instant read thermometer that doubles as a meat thermometer. Super accurate reading in 3 seconds. Plus your steaks will be cooked to perfection.
