A themometer doesnt have to be accurate, as long as it is consistent. So if it is always one degree off then thats great.
I heat my room so I use a simple room air themometer which can measure max and min. Actually I use two - one placed high and one low in opposite corners in case my room isnt getting even air flow.
I just stick my finger in.
actually, I use normal stick on ones with suction cups and that coralife one.
but to be honest, most of my tanks don't have thermomenters in them all the time..
I put one in when I need to check.

thats true, i dont really mind as i can still read them properly. strange how the one i bought is not adjustable or accurate tho.fishdance;962502; said:

an accurate thermometer and a temperature bath.....
see www.ptcmetrology.com for example
Seems to me the word "accurate" is just like "normal" in that it's relative.johnptc;962754; said:
Who's to say the "accurate" thermometer used for calibration is indeed accurate.
