    I haven't checked yet. Would something like this work?

    Aquarium Water Temperature: Coralife Digital Thermometer

    Yes that will work, but do you want to have a cord hanging outside your wine glass all the time? Since that doesn't have an alarm the infrared thermometer would work the same, just no wires laying around. :)

    I could always just put it in when I want to check. I just don't want to spend a ton of money on a thermometer :-/

    No worries, the temp probe you selected works fine. I thought I would mention the infrared thermometer for fun. It has really become a useful tool when making water changes & power outages.

    I'm scared to know how much I've spent, especially after having to almost completely restock when the 29 gallon crashed :-/

    I shudder to imagine... my first "cheap" tank was supposed to run about 500 for start up. the lfs I was using at the time had a rewards program, and once every 3 months they sent you a statement showing how much you spent. $1200 lol, and thats not the only place I bought stuff from. the new tank I'm starting- again supposed to be cheap- has so far cost us $800+, and it still needs a bunch of stuff :p

    LOL sorry for going off on a tangent- love your new tank cam;)

    It's no problem at all! I'll be watching your build to see how it turns out :) And yeah, I've spent WAY too much money on my tank lol

    And thanks :)
