Fahrenheit or Celsius

[Atrumblood]

Hey all, I am curious. Is Imperial or metric your preferred unit for temperature?

 

[Spare time]

I do Fahrenheit since I am more familiar with it, and because it is more precise. I only use celcius when it comes to electronics.

Fahrenheit is definitely a finer range. I use Celsius with an extra decimal to fix that. Though I seem to be in the minority on this based on the poll results so far.

Kelvin, although one doesn't find fish equipment using that set of units. But ... under what circumstances in aquarium keeping does a 1 degree change in Fahrenheit matter?

I suspect you will find that peoples answers will generally be tied to where they live, with a few exceptions.

I use Fahrenheit and don’t even know what values I would be looking for in Celsius, without doing the math. For whatever reason I remember how to convert them back and forth.

That is indeed a good question. In my opinion plus or minus 1 degree doesn't matter as long as it's consistent.
