What are you using for a timer ?
 

I've been using basic electronic timers from Home Depot to run the various
pumps and MH lights that I have. Unfortunately every six months or so I end up replacing at least one of them. Does anyone have a suggestion for a more bullet proof setup. These timers are expensive and I'm tired of replacing them.:sad:

Right now hardwired UPM timer from HD for my MH (also used for years on a curio cabinet and for the outside xmas lights) plus a Intermac(?) plug in type for the actinics.

i use a coral life powerbare with built in digital timer. it has 4 fulltime plugs and 2 day and night sockets. i run two tanks off this.

check nedco or westburn for a good outdoor timer and a box then wire it up yourself, it should last forever and not cost 2 much.

I am using the ones from home depot - $6 / timer. I just wrap them in a bag so water doesn't get into it...

I am using Leviton timers on my tank. They work well and the backlit lcd screen looks cool too.

Forgot to mention prce of about 35$

i have also heard of a string of fires due to these in 07 so check the manufacture date on the back if you buy at an lfs.

How much and where did you get them from?

I got them at Home Depot. They where sold in packs of 2 for about 50 bux IIRC.

Thanks, I will take a looksee next time.
