Digital Aquatics replacement temperature probe

[Luvspinball]

Hey guys,
I have a full digital aquatics system running everything for my 600 gallon tank. Temp probe - old Molex connector style - says its 115 degrees F and clearly wrong. Actual temperature using a standard aquarium digital thermometer reads 77.5. Since DA went out of business, does anyone know what temperature probe I could buy to hook up to this system?

I cannot be the first to experience this issue. Tank was in the house we bought 6 1/2 years ago, and the DA system has done it's job quite well up until now. Since the temp probe controls the heater - and I assume the chiller - I need a reliable temp probe hooked up to the system. One suggestion was the JBJ TRT-TP #2098. Or can I just cut off the probe from one of these cheap battery operated digital thermometers and splice it onto the molex connector for the DA system? Any help would be appreciated.

Bob

DA has a breakout box module in which you could attach the jbj to.

Vette,
Do you happen to know the breakout box number? My current temp probe is plugged into the RKM-SL1 which is connected to the network module and the power strip controller. I also have a new fish guy, since the one who built the tank and was helping maintain it retired about a year ago.

Thanks for the links! I was able to get a pair of temp probes from "The Cooler Guys" who make temp probes for just about any situation. I ordered a pair of probes for $10. Had to change the connector so it would fit the DA box, but everything up and functioning perfectly again. Even have a spare now.
Thanks again. Some of the other links may come in handy in the future.

If that is a different source than one of the ones mentioned already it the thread can you make a comment in the thread. Include the info on getting a probe from the source you got it from. I am sure someone else will appreciate it if they are needing a temp probe.

Can you post more info from where you got these made?
