how do you stick the aquarium thermometer?
i don’t know how to stick it to the aquarium.
If it is a peel and stick, peel off the paper backing and stick it to the side (outside) (not the front) of the tank so it does not block your view of the tank from the front. I usually place them about halfway up on the right side to measure the temp at the middle of the tank. I have 25 tanks, I always put them in the same place to make it easier to find.
It could be a floating thermometer, in that case, just pop it in the tank. You will be forever looking for it, though, to see what the temp is. They never stay at the front of the tank.
If it has a suction cup, just wet it (tank water, do not lick) and stick it inside the tank, near the top, where you can see it.
If it is an aluminum hanger with a thermometer attached, you hang it over the edge of the tank so the thermometer is on the inside of the tank pointing out so you can read it.
