surge protector with timer and independent outlets

Hi, I need a power strip with a timer that will program individual outlets. One outlet for CO2, one for 6500K T5's, one for Rostette lights, 1 for P-dosers, one for accent lights,. etc., you get the picture. If you're wondering, this is for a planted aquarium. Hopefully I don't need to buy an Apex controller, I just feel like this should be a product that could be found at a hardware store or Amazon, but I'm having trouble locating. If anyone knows, please send me the link to the product.
Thank you much!
 
Why not plug a bunch of timers into a surge protector/power strip? It's ain't pretty, but it works a long as you don't need all the outlets synced right down to the second.
 
That things pretty cool....might have to check into it further. Might be able to help me out until I can afford a APEX

I would say Reefkeeper lite.. You can get them used for 100.00 all the time.. I thin there are two for sale in the selling forum on here now
 
for about $150 you can get a Samsung smartthings hub and an AeonLabs smart powerstrip. Each outlet is controlable via your smart phone then, you can set them on timers. You can even get zwave leak sensors so that if a leak is detected a outlet is shut off.

Poor mans apex.

Yeah, I want to get away from that. Timers are big and usually cover up the outlet right next to it. If they had some real small compact ones, that would probably work. Thanks

$100 isn't bad, I actually have not looked into cheaper controllers, I just remember Apex's were $500 or so when I had a reef. I'll look into it. Thanks.
