Where can I find a timer for my MH fixture?
I cant find any individual timers that accept the 3 prong plugs....
Also the surge protectors that have a timer built in... doesn't have 3 SEPERATE timers.

My MH fixture has a HQI bulb, Actinic bulb and moonlights. So I need something that will be able to have 3 seperate timers.

I'm not looking for anything expensive, just a plain ol timer. Please help!

yah i bought two power strips that have a timer built in.... and its not able to have 3 seperate timer programs, just one. So both make my HQI, actinic and moonlights turn on and off at the same time.

Besides Home Depot you might try a big chain type pet store, such as PetSmart or Petco. That is where I got mine.

I just bought two seperate outdoor timers from Lowes. They run about $8.00 each here. HTH

 

[AngeloM3]

are you able to plug in a 3 prong cord to those timers from lowes?

YEP!

Just make sure to get the outdoor type. It has the cover over the front and has three prongs.

I got my 2 'heavy duty' timers with 3 prong at walmart for 8 bux I think it was.

I got a 3-prong timer at Wal-Mart!
Whatever you do, don't use a "cheater" (turns a 3-prong into a 2-prong, i just read an article somewhere that someone died using it because they got rid of the "grounding" ability)

When I built my stand, I built in a power strip on each side and 3 invividual outlet's for lighting timers. I got my lighting timer's at Target for the big tank and Walmart for the nano tank, here a couple pics.
