[viv4life]

Hey guys im looking for an accurate,dependable hydromoter/thermomoter combined.ive seen alot of them but i dont know wich ones are the best it has to be humidity/temperature combined!) im thinking about the one from joshsfrogs.com that shows the min, max. setting. do you know what im talking about?

The brand "acurite" seems to be popular.

I bought the ExoTerra brand ones, but only because they fit into my hood perfectly. But they work well, and they even have velcro so you can put them on other hoods

acurite... from walmart... the black one. it will save you from throwing money away on a name brand. should be near water filters... not far from hardware.

btw... we are spavers... walmart is our friend. i don't like the company, but i love some of the prices!

yes, i've seen the ones on josh's frogs and would still go with walmart!

Thanks, are the ones from walmart combined? Like hydrometer/thermomiter combined?

[beckdg]

yes... the black ones... they also have a probe on one piece and the remote sensor can be used for your cool end or temp on another viv... you can also purchase xtra remote sensors and it will display temps from up to 4? or 10? different locations remotely!

i did not find the black one when i found mine (i have the white one that only does temps), so you may have to check back whenever you go to walmart, but they will eventually be there!

also on the white one you can set an alarm that goes off when temps are out of the range you choose... pretty sure the black one does the same. it is pretty much the same model with an extra feature and different color shell.

you're welcome!

beck, do you have a pic of the black one you are talking about? Mine doesn't have any alarms, and it isn't black...

here are a few links:

again this is just a few links... don't know if they still sell it, but i found a black one identical to my white one after i first noticed them here in a thread. i have not seen them recently so maybe it was old stock newly found?

anyway, i cannot find my model online right now either, so i'll have to take pics... i really hate transferring pics through a patch cord... i miss my card reader... boo hoo.

disclaimer: these links only show a few of accu rite's models... these are not necessarily the best prices and most likely not the best sources. DO NOT USE THESE LINKS TO CLICK AND BUY! use only for reference.

these should all work just fine.

edit: sorry if there was any confusion.

The third one is what I have... I guess you could say it's black-ish.
