Thanks for the feedback. I'm ,really, just venting.
It's all enough to drive me crazy!
I'm on an endless search for the perfect product !

Ha!

Goodmorning Ruby!
Hopefully you figure out whats up and what the actually humidity is. I'm not really sure what to do.

That makes two of us..
An average is nice !!!!! 74%

Oh yes! The search for an accurate Hygrometer treds on
When you go to buy one always look at the readings of the others around. At least this method works for Analog gauges which I actually don't like. Choose one from a group that read the same.
I'd say to remove the gauge when the MK sprays and place it back in after. This way your probe doesn't get wet at all and just collects the ambient air moisture once back in. The only ones I've found to be accurate is the Fluker's Dual digital temp/humidity gauge. It doesn't have a probe and seems very accurate unless directly hit with water which in any case messes all hygrometer readings up completely.

The other is the Zoo Med Hygrotherm climate control units I use. They are very accurate. Usually only being off by one degree or one unit off humidity, but like all others you do not want to have the collector that's placed inside the enclosure hit directly.

Hi Grif(s)
Don't get me going!
It would not take much to for me to put , yet, another in there!!!!!

Seriously, they really are all pretty close to each other.
The new one is remote and updates every 45 seconds. So, it clearly explains the difference between it and the others.
The probe devices take longer to adjust.
Plus, I keep a little computer fan going nearby.





A rainy, high humidity, day here in NY!

I would say the wireless weather system is probably the most accurate. Them all being close is a good thing because that means you're definitely still in the correct range even if its maybe a little less than ideal.

lol we have same issue not trusting a hygrometer ... analog.... digital..... probe go crazy seeing different reading

i have come to this conclusion. I don't leave them in the tank anymore. I don't even use one for that matter. Being with darts 80% and higher is good, i know that if my tank has condensation on the glass then its usually in the right range. I would just use hygrometers to stick in and get a reading then take it out from now on vs leaving them in full time
