timers (grrrrrrr)

[Mr S]

Frustrated with crummy timers. What do you people use that are reliable but cheap? Need quite a few since everything at school is on timers

Man I have not found one that lasts over a year. Every so often I wake up in the morning and my tank lights are still on. They always turn on, it's the shutting down that causes problems.

 

I'd be interested in a cheap anwser too.

 

RIght now I'm leaning toward a reef kepper.

I use the marineland automatic timer. I have not had a problem with them in two years, they also have a splash resistant cover, but I have not used the cover.

And No they are not free Roger.

I got a power strip with a timer on it that turns on and off 3 of the 6 plug ins about 5 years ago at HD or Lowes cant remember what one but it has been really great, every once and a while if the humidity gets really high in the stand it dosnt turn off but that has only happened a couple times in the time I've been using it. I do however like having my stand ventalated in the back with a fan. oh and the powerstrip / timer was only like $12. I also use the $5 timmers with the little green and red pins ya move to the times ya want it to turn on and off with pritty good sucsess.
