Good light timer?

[todd2000]

Im looking for a timer with similar features to the Coralife Power Center. I don't wan't to get that one because I like my house and don't want to burn it down I need at least 2 seperatly controlled timed outlets, I don't really have the outlets or space on the surge protector to use two appliance timers from the hardware store. Im running this whole tank off of one outlet. If I could get 2 timers in one device that would be helpful, especially if it were a powerstrip like the Coralife. Any idaes, what do you all use?

I have the Coralife Digital timer, not the turn dial one, it works fantastic!!!! I bought 2 of them, one for halides and one for moon lights, and of course I have all my other stuff plugged in to. I recommend it!

Buy a Reefkeeper by DigitalAquatics. There are two models, and the less expensive first model would be fine for what you want. May cost a little more but you'll love it. You can pick up a used one if you have time to watch the for sale forum for a while. That's where I bought mine.

A little overkill Just need a light timer, and Im paranoid about the Coralife after reading that thread about them catching fire.

Anyone ever see the digital timers at Wal-Mart? It has been about a year, but I saw some little compact digital timers for like $5-$10. If I remember right they were grounded and 15A. I always wanted to try one, but never did.

Anyone ever use one?

I use these timers at my restaurant. They are very easy to install if you know a little about electrical work. If you dont then hire an electrician to do it. They cost around $40 to $50 range. These timers are very reliable I have had them in my restaurant for years with no problem. Here is a link http://www.westsidewholesale.com/in...CATEGORY=372&gclid=CJGwpIvhooMCFTguGgodNwgXmw

And here is a pic of a set on my 90 gal

Your all getting too complicated Isn't there any other product on the market similar to the Coralife that doesn't cost $200, or require an electrition to install?

Get a GE appliance timer, they are heavy duty and reliable.

I might have to just get 2 appliance timers, and try to configure the outlet somehow, but I would really like to have 2 times built into one device, preferabley in a powerstrip form.
