Because it mounts externally there is no suction cup to fail, nothing for a cichlid to dislodge, and no glass to break in the tank. Mounted vertically, it fits neatly in the corner of a panel rather than taking up viewing width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReads 19 to 30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e — covers the normal range for tropical community, marine and most planted tanks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounts outside the glass\u003c\/strong\u003e — nothing in the water to knock loose, clean around, or break.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 cm vertical strip\u003c\/strong\u003e — sits in a corner of the panel instead of across the viewing area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNothing to power or calibrate\u003c\/strong\u003e — no battery, no probe, no cable through the rim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdhesive LCD strip thermometer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOrientation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 °C to 30 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdhesive, external glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWater type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreshwater and marine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBA9131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarina does not currently publish a stated accuracy or scale increment for this thermometer, so neither figure is claimed here.

A coldwater goldfish tank in a Brisbane winter can drop below 19 °C, and any tank in an un-airconditioned Queensland room can pass 30 °C in summer — which is exactly when you most want a number.
