ok so i do use digital thermometers but i'm wondering if there any of those round temp/humidity gauges (like this) that actually work and aren't of by large margins? just wondering because i do like the look of them.

I will tell you from experience the answer to your question is 'No'. All those gauges that stick to the sides of the tank with the revolving needles are total crap. Stick with digital.

thats what i thought i was just hoping there might be some more expensive metal ones that work, o well.

I would imagine that there are high quality accurate analog temp/humidity gauges out there. But I highly doubt that they're going to be something you'd find in the pet industry.

ya true i might have to look into some sailing stuff to find them
