Can the probe be removed from the bottle? Would it be suitable for monitoring water temp in an aquarium?

I really don't think the probe can be removed form the bottle. That seems like a question for the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Temp fluctuation when the probe is submerged is 1-2 degrees. It doesn't have anything attached to circ fluid but the response of the probe to change is quick and unless you need less than 1 degree accuracy I would recommend this gizmo.

I suppose it could be as it is sealed but the digital readout would need to be positioned carefully so you could see it without too much distortion through the water. That is if you need to see it at all - I have a separate highly accurate temp meter in my tank for monitoring and the D1HT keeps the water spot on for temperature (+- 1-2 degrees).

I do not think so. I have been careful not to let the cable end of my probes get wet. and they last for a while.

A wire comes out of the thermometer. It cannot be removed. There is a plastic probe at the tip.

Yes this should work fine since you have sufficient time window to obtain reading. I have used it to get reading of water temperature coming out of faucet and soups etc. Also used it for correct water temperature for yeast.

Be careful that the cord from the probe does not touch the rack. That will give you a false high reading--high enough to take the thermometer out of its range--and cause the probe to fail prematurely.

you may want to silicon the probe only to the tank. You shouldn't get the terminal between the probe and the cable wet. You can set the thermostat to warm temps as well as cold

I think it would be measuring the temp of the glass not the contents, unless you took the lid off and pointed at the liquid itself.

temp probe is very accurate to a tenth degree. don't if it's unique to the unit but then You don't need another one.

I don't believe the probe is waterproof. To be sure I might suggest checking with Coolerguys directly.

The main unit is not. I have the temperature probe in a high-humidity environment (beer fridge)but the probe is not submerged.

To test my unit I submerged the probe in water that I knew was over/under a given temperature. I didn't read that you could or could not anywhere, all I can say is that I did for a short period of time and that doing so hasn't damaged anything.

While I do use this probe to monitor water temp, I don't fully immerse it, as the wire behind the metal portion of the probe is covered in plastic & I don't want it to melt. If I use it to monitor other food temperatures, just wipe off the metal part of the probe & don't let the plastic touch anything hot, like pots, pans, etc. Shorter answer: I don't know & haven't tried to find out.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

It is possible to leave them there, but the probe wire is only silicon and I am not sure it would last. The one I bought lasted only a couple of months and I was only immersing it in hot water.

Considering the sensitivity of the metal cable, it seems to be the part that always fails, I would only wipe the system off with a wet sponge and not risk it being soaked, rusted, or ????. The heat will no doubt take of any grunge on cable, leave it alone and just wipe off the probe.
