I have the IM 10g tank. Really hunting for a simple thermometer with alarm. I have used the Seneye but it got a tad troublesome. It needs to connect to a PC and the Seneye wireless server is another additional piece of hardware I don't wish to invest. Plus you need to wet the sensor pad 24 hours or more before use. The Apex controller (perfect for fish geek) is an overkill, tempting as it is. I thought of using a PI computer and built a probe lol. And learn some coding again but if there is a product out there, will be great. Any recommendation thanks bros!

You are right. Sorry. But I have a nano reef tank and want a super small thermometer with alarm and a small footprint. There are bigger devices for bigger tanks. I was hoping the nano tank reefers know of such a device for nano tanks. Missed that point out.

There are temperature alarms available on eBay or taobao but needs some DIY modification to change the thermistor to a salt water safe type.

Alternatively a more expensive option is to get an ISocket with aquarium temperature sensor. Probably in the $260 range. This however has the added feature of informing you via SMS if power or temperature is out of whack.

There are cheap temperature controllers in ebay which can switch on/off based on a temperature preset as suggested by SubzeroLT. As a sample, pls check the link below.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-110-C-W1209-Digital-Thermostat-Temperature-Control-Switch-Sensor-Module-12V-/182071212734?hash=item2a644a3abe:g:-1UAAOSw2zlXhIWb

There are many such things in ebay. It needs a bit of DIY to connect buzzer for alarm or to on/off certain equipment when reaching the temperature preset.

I am using this in my Pico to switch on/off the cooling fan on reaching certain temperature. I know that the probe is stainless steel and will corrode over a period of time. So far, i didn't see adverse effects with carbon running in.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
