What thermometer to use?

[Dave1812]

Hi all,
I'm thinking of using an Exo-Terra digital thermometer (http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/digital_thermometer.php) as it can display the min and max temps.
Can the sensor be submerged or is this only for reading air temps and secondly can this item be set to activate cooling fans?

Please advise of any other thermometers/set ups that can do the above (with an external display)

I am a big fan of the zilla digital thermometer. For the price, they are a steal and work great. It can read liquid or air temps and is very accurate. I know you are looking for one to do more, but try one of these out sometime.

For terrarium, this one is really good too with alarms and min/max:

Thanks for your swift reply - I assume that the second one is also usable submerged.

What I'm hoping for is a unit that will run the Azoo cooling fan when needed (assuming we get a warm summer in the UK )

Any more recommendations?

I like the digital ones much more. Its $10 versus $3, but they're faster, more accurate, and easier to read. Definitely a good investment.

EDIT: Oh, I just noticed we're talking about terrestrial thermometers. I'd go with one of these, it works for both terrestrial and aquatic readings and has the probe on a long cord.

I've gone for the Exo-Terra digital thermometer.
