Tank Temperature Reader?

Yes there is but there no really that accurate. You are better off with a thermometer that floats in your tank.
I keep to glass stick ons in my tank, then check the accuracy with a lab grade pH tester that has a built in thermocouple. I have found they usually stay accurate for a year or 2. There are remote sensors that you stick the probe in the tank and it uses RF to transmit to a reader, but like stated above, it's not that accurate.
Technology like that isn't cheap, so if you see something like that which is cheap, they probably skimped on something else... like the quality of the thermometer

You can get a temperature chart recorder for your tank, but its not cheaper. Check this one out...it is $628.0. I dont think you want to go this far.
i got one of those cheap Coral Life digital thermometers. as stated above, you get what you pay for. these are usually off by about 5-6 degrees when compared to the ones that float in your tank
I also have a coral life thermometer and its always off a few degrees. Even from turning it off and on it will change while the floating thermometer stays consistent. You get what you pay for.
The thing with those digital thermometers is that they will stay the exact same amount of degrees off. Baseline your digital with a good lab grade thermometer. If your digital says 80 degrees and the lab thermometer says 78 then you know to always subtract 2 degrees from whatever your digital says.
