If I can't break it, it doesn't exist
Can you share some pictures of them?

Heres a temp probe comparison.
Cheap probes=28awg conductors, thin pvc insulation, shrink tube sealed probe, probe made from 304 stainless was .4 degrees F low compared to calibrated NTC thermistor, readings "jumpier", responds slower to temp change
Better probes=24awg conductors, thick silicone high temp insulation, shielded, double roll crimp sealed probe, probe polished 316 stainless, was within .1 F of the NTC thermistor, readings smoother, responds faster to temp changes.

Ah, I thought you have found a new type. The orange ones rock.Cheap probes=28awg conductors, thin pvc insulation, shrink tube sealed probe, probe made from 304 stainless was .4 degrees F low compared to calibrated NTC thermistor, readings "jumpier", responds slower to temp change

So far they have performed flawlessly, I now have 4 of them. Testing shows they all read within .1125 degrees F of each other!
Anyone who is looking for good temp probes heres the link again:

I’ll update the official amazon bom list with these probes
In your telemetry configuration adafruit username is valid ? What about email username ?
Nope. Delete and recreate.

Thanks! I saw your post about the flu. Be sure you get rest, and hydrate!

I'm sure I've asked this question before, but which direction did you all go with your doing pumps? What are the pro and cons of 5v vs 12v? I'm researching dosing 2 part right now to make sure I can meet the needs of the corals and inverts I plan on keeping, so I think I'll be good with 2 pumps, but does the pico board allow for a 3rd? Can a jebao be cracked open to work with reef-pi?

Also, there really ought to be a reef-pi badge for folks who built their own controller and another badge for the key devs. I can approach the site admins if you all are ok with that.
