Temperature Probe Placement in Fluval Evo 13.5

[tldragoon]

Hey all. Just curious on what an ideal location for the temperature probe would be in the tank. Chamber 2? Currently I have the filtration media in chamber 1 (using InTank Media Basket). In chamber 3 I have the pump and heater. Planning on a mini refugium in chamber 2. I have a Coralife temperature probe and a probe from my Inkbird ITC-308, they are both currently located in the display tank on the false wall. Thanks in advance for the help.

Anywhere UPSTREAM of the chamber the heater is in will work fine (Chamber 1 or 2)

OK thanks. Something else you might be able to help with. Should I use both temp probes or just one? They don't match and I actually calibrated the inkbird controller to make the Coralife. Thanks again!

Away from the heater and in path of low current

You MUST use the temperature probe that comes with the Inkbird in order for out to function.

The coralife temperature probe just gives you another opinion.

All answers above are solid, same probe to have it work and make sure it isnt just resting directly on the heater! Lets check out the build!
