Temperature sensors.

[crazyleo]

Hi guys! So my tank is almost filled, and after a day of having water in it, I've hit my first dumb question(I'm sure there'll be more).

I have 3 temp sensors in my tank. 1 on my inkbird, 1 on my apex, and 1 on my sicce pump(syncra SDC 7). My inkbird shows 77.2, my sicce shows 72.5, and my apex shows 75.7.

How am I supposed to calibrate the sensors if no 2 sensors read the same?
And also, is there a way to calibrate the sicce temp sensor? The closest I've found is setting the temperature range but that doesn't change the actual reading...

Thanks
Leo

I have never heard of anyone doing what you are doing. A temp sensor for the main aquarium is usually all that is necessary.

Personally I disregard the temp from the sicce, its always off from my other sensors, so I let the hydros control the system

Pick one and use that

Thanks guys. I'm gonna run with the Apex and just calibrate the inkbird to that one.

Calibration can done by melting ice in a bucket of water: mix half ice, half cold water and leave for 10-15 mins. Some ice will melt, some should remain. the water would then be close to 0 degrees celsius.
