Hi,
I am using a 16/22mm flexible hose to change water on my 1300L aquarium. I need to do this each week.
It would be very useful if I could tell the temperature of the water flowing through the hose, and also it's pressure (I can only run 9L per minute though my carbon cannister - make the water 'fish safe').
Was thinking of something like this for the temperature (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dial-surfa...=1484307290&sr=1-15&keywords=pipe+thermometer), but am worried about accuracy. I don't need to get the temperature exactly tight (hose is connected to mixer taps) but it does need to be within 5°C of existing aquarium water to avoid shock to the fish.
Any thoughts?
Cheers.
