Skewing the reading by how much???

I am really not sure. I run a reefkeeper light and added a new itemp probe in. It was consistently reading about a degree and a half higher than the thermometer i put in the DT to test the readings with. This may be because of a calibration issue but I know the mags are known to run hot. I also have two maxi-jet 400's in there feeding TLF reactors which I am sure doesn't help. I just figured that I would move it just in case.

i have mine in my sump right now in the intake section but thinking about moving it to my overflow because i also have my skimmer pump in there (mag 9.5) which i think is skewing the readings.
i have the same problem with my LIFEREEF SKIMMER.. The pump also a mag 9.5 runs hot.. Thats y im looking to replace the pump, but dont know which 1 to go with..

I know they run a little hot but they are such good pumps I don't plan on switching. Just move the probe. I really don't think it makes much of a difference to the entire tank. I use it to run a Aquac EV-180
