Re: A few general Enclosure and Accessory questions

Terry,
Thanks for putting together that table. It's a very nice resource. I might even paste it into the articles section if you don't mind.

Vondell,
Those round stick-on type thermometers and hygrometers are definitely better than having nothing. They'll give you a general feel for the conditions in your enclosure, but they're not very accurate. When you're ready to spend a bit more money, the first thing to upgrade is the thermometer. It's hard to beat the digital thermometers that have a 24 hour high/low memory. They're about $25-30 from Wal Mart or similar store. Some even have a digital temperature and humidity gauge for about $40 (if I remember correctly).

In short, I'm saying that the round analog thermometers are very disappointing. The humidity doesn't need to be regulated quite as precisely, so the round hygrometers are okay.
