Alternatives
$33.99 · 79 / 100B+
Accurate to within a degree, recalibratable, and with the longest reliability record in the hobby — the default freshwater pick.
$14.23 · 76 / 100B
The budget best-seller — cheap, ubiquitous and fine in a stable room, but pair it with a separate thermometer and watch the dial.
$62.95 · 76 / 100B
A shatterproof, near-indestructible submersible heater with auto shut-off — reliable, if a touch less precise than the Eheim.
