Posted	Thermometer to test heatpacks
19-10-2007 08:18 by mwilde	Hello Now the cold weather has come, I’m reluctant to post my guppies. I’m looking into buying heat packs. I have contacted the makers and they have no experience in using them in the small boxes i use. They only use big boxes. They are going to send me 2 samples to perform my own testing. My idea is to get some kind of thermometer that is water proof. I will put it in one of the fish bags with water, packaged it up as normal and then in the morning look what temperature it got it. This is where I need help. I’m looking for a thermometer that is water proof, and that will record the highest and lowest temp that it go to. Any ideas please.....??

19-10-2007 18:47 by dave the wath	Sorry didn't finish, garden centres also have normal thermo's, both types come in different sizes, with prices to match.
