Where do you keep your temperature probe(s)?

Trying to sift through all the options for heaters and monitors. Just wanted to know where everyone keeps their temp probes.

I have a canister filter, and place my probe next to the water intake in the tank.

I keep it before the return section in my sump, where I also have my heaters.

I have an AIO so I keep the probes in the back chamber. My InkBird has two temperature probes and I put one toward the bottom of each overflow chamber. The one thing I wanted to make sure of was that at no time the probes would ever be exposed to air since that would likely cause a serious malfunction with the heater.

Interested in the answers here too.
I have mine in the return section of my sump.

If you put them in the chamber before the actual heaters, then you are measuring the temp at the end of the cycle. If you put them anywhere else, then you are measuring the temp at that part of the cycle.

I have mine in the overflow section that holds the return plumbing for the sump.
And the heater is in the sump. So I have mine in the "coldest" part of the tank to ensure the temp is always warm and not too cold.

I like the thinking on this method, I'll most likely go this route.

It's really simple when you think about it. Our water runs in a circle. Start with heater, end with heater probe.
