Hydros Dual Temperature Sensors?

[chapter7]

Do you use two temperature sensors in your system? Where and why?

I’m contemplating adding a second for redundancy but not sure where I should put it!? I have one in my return chamber right now with the heaters being upstream in the first chamber of the sump.

I have 2 on the inkbird and 1 on the hydros.

I have one in the upper tank in the overflow and one in the sump. Hydros will throw a notification if they drift too far apart. I use both so that one doesn't kill my tank if it fails.

Yea, same here. Was thinking about adding a second Hydros sensor.

Nice, wasn’t aware that’s Hydros would do that - that was one of my concerns.

I have one in my display tank in the corner, and the other one in my sump's return chamber. Works great with Hydros.
