My temperature probe is really acting strange lately. It currently says my tank is 82.7 degrees but a thermapen I have says my tank is 74. I don't know what to believe right now and am started to freak out a bit because these are two extremes. What do i believe? I have purchased another temp probe but obviously it won't be here for at least 4-5 days. The tank is located in the basement and the AC has been on and off running for the past few days, it is not hot down here.
Apex temp probe problems!

Not sure if you have one of these, but it's my gold star standard that I use for calibrating all other electronic probes etc.. So far it's served me very well.

For next time have more than one temp sensor on the system if possible. That way you have a backup and with your thermapen you will have three readings. Two should be close. Go with the two that are close when there is a error in one.
