Timer For Multiple Items

[erikharrison]

Is there a timer that I can pick up here in town at Lowe's that will control multiple things and turn them off and on at different times (cycles)? I am going to the coast this weekend and my mammy is coming over to feed our fish, so I need to buy this today. I am wanting to stay away from alot of different timers.

I don't know of anything like that at lowes. but I have seen a coralife strip plug that has I think 4 plugs that are controlled by timers and 2-4 non timing plugs or something of that nature. that was at petsmart.

Its just going to be your light s right . Well just have a timer with a power strip and plug everything in to that.

well, I am looking for one that I can use on my future tank. That one will be timers for alot of things. I am going to have timers on my pumps as well. I have a filstar packed with carbon that I only want to run about 2 hours per day, my seio 820 about four hours a day, and my mh at 8 hours a day. I am looking for some type of programmable box that has multiple timers...

ReefKeeperII. About $300. Well worth it.

I bought a dualie coralife. It has settings like mad. I will look into the reefkeepers once I get up and running.

I just bought a bunch of individual timers for my two tanks at 10 bucks a pop. But then again I only time the lights. Not too sure how many of those you would need and if you would have the appropriate electrical strips. Some of my strips have inadequate plugs, wether they go long way or are spaced too closely to one another so I just plug one strip in to another and use two strips for that tank.

the one I bought has settings for four time slots, and can do 15 minute intervals (like a a wavemaker.... kinda) and it was 37 dollars at petsmart.
