Any suggestions on light timers like the Coralife Digital Power Center but not that one. I have that one and it stopped working after about four months. Too bad though. I really like that product. I bought it even though there were some bad reviews out there but they are spot on. Anyway, I need a set of timers for my main lights (two plugs at different times), moonlights (one plug) and fuge light (one plug). Suggestions? Thanks!

Do they have a power strip type product with different programmable plugs? What do you use for your lighting settings?

Since I'm a student I turn my actinics on when I wake up for about an hour or so and turn all the lights on before i leave for school...and since a school day is 8 hours after baseball practice there's my 12 hour photoperiod i turn the white lights off leaving the actinics on for about another hour or so and then shut em off leaving the moon lights on.

I too use the cheap timers, the ones from any hardware store that have the timer dial on the front that clicks the light on and off.

I'll probably go that route, but those things are so big you need a whole powerstrip just for two of them, which means I need three power strips (two connected to one), which sounds like a fire hazzard.

I used a 3 way that looks like a plus sign and plugged that into my strip and I can put 3 timers on that 1 3 way.

I have one of those plus sign shape connectors I can try that, but I like the sound of that outside pool light timers even better. If it's weather proof then it will be good in a humid cabinet with a sump in it. I will definitely look into that tomorrow.

instead of a normal shaped powerstrip I bought one that is kinda like an octopus. It's got a main piece is about the size of a computer mouse then it has 6 cords coming out of it varying from 4" to 8" with a plug on the end that looks like the end of an extension cord.
