which AcuRite model?

Post by curlysister » Tue Feb 12, 2019 11:14 pm

I need a new hygrometer/ thermometer. So I went on Amazon and looked at the AcuRite digital ones recommended on HCA. But there are a few different models. What does everyone use? I was trying to find one with just a probe to put into the tank to measure both temp and humidity, but the ones I found had a probe that only checked temp. Does the whole unit go in the tank, or just a probeÉ (sorry, my laptop is malfunctioning and wont make proper punctuation)

The one I use doesn't have a probe.

This is the style we have been using from Lowe's.

I looked on Amazon for the same model but couldn't find it. I'm sure any similar one would work the same.

Sweet- thanks for sharing, I was kinda curious too. I have one, as we know, but I’d like to get an all in one unit like that too. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm not sure why I presumed that most people had a probe on the hygrom/thermom.
