Sure. Stick the thing in Resin. I'd take the temp sensor, solder it directly
to along wire. (Cut off the end) and make a mold and seal in in the Resin.
That should do it. It will not be fast acting but in a fish tank it shouldn't
need it. Put the sensor poking out of the resin to speed it's reaction time
up.


I have been toying with the idea of making a robot to feed the fish in my
office on the weekends, and when I am on vacation. With a waterproof temp
sensor it could also send me an e-mail alert if the temp. in the Aquarium
was really high or low....

Good idea... It could even be set to turn on and off the light, and feed the
fish.
