Advise on a good outlet timer?

[aborrero4u]

Hey Manhattan Reef addicts, I need some help. I'm currently using a Aqua Light Coral Life Digital Power center outlet that claims to have 7 different timers and settings, but the thing is, it never works when I need it to, only sometimes if that. I guess you get what you pay for. I am looking for a power outlet that will let my 2 blue actinic t5s lights turn on an hour or two before I turn out my 4 other t5s all together.Any advise or links on a good power outlet timer? I have a Current USA Nova Extreme Pro T5 Aquarium Lighting Fixture with 6 t5s. Any help of a lead in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks

Best wall timer I've ever owned:

Before installing my controller I used two of these, one of them was capable of firing up 2 - 250w double ended metal halides with no problem. Each time has 2 plugs on each side. Under 20 bucks and imo the best you're gonna not counting a true aquarium controller. If you can spend the money a real controller like a Neptune will put any timer to shame though.

This is what I use for my light controller... http://www.digitalaquatics.com/saltwater/RKL
very flexible and can use it for several different things if you want to set up a 24 hour cycle you can do that. If you want to run heater.
I have a Coralife just running the other stuff like my pumps that I keep on constant.

yeah get the reef keeper lite, $119 can control your lights and set the temp if it goes above x amount to turn lights off ect

I have two Home Depot timers for now.
My next is going to be the RKL, you cant beat that for future upgrades.
When I do, I will use the old timers for house lights when I go on Vaca, so its not wasted money.
