Those I was told work good.
I was thinking of putting some of those probes in my sump for my 20.
They don't have a lot of pull down though unlike the ones you are looking at.
I think I might end up with one as well.:biggrin:

I have a JBJ 28 gallon and use the Arctica (JBJ) mini that handles upto 40 Gallons. Works great, and rated very well.

I had to add a chiller to my RSM shortly after I bought in last september... because it was getting way too hot.. the first one I had i think was rated for 35-40 gal (OSI) it blew up, and couldn't handle the heat from the tank, I had to add the one rated for up to 72 gallons!
