A digital probe compensates for temperature.

Raied, why not run an experiment ?
Take out a cup of tank water, cover it and let it sit until room temp
Then compare it to your tank water

So
1oz fresh out of tank water measured 1.025
1oz tank water left out covered for 1 hour measured 1.025
1oz tank water left in fridge covered for 1 hour measured 1.025

After this I don't think tempature is a factor.

Lol. I'd say the experiment is a bust if his is also an ATC unit
