Sounds good! I've gotten the digital timer and a good surge bar, etc. now.

Ok.. I have another question about power, and a couple of other semi-related questions:

1. Is it possible to get a surge protector (or something) that has maybe an hour or so of backup power in case of an outage? (Something like a mini UPS)

2. I'm trying to affix my (new!) AquaLine OceanLight 250 HQI pendants on to my canopy's fold-up lid. Thinking of using galvanised steel L-brackets. Does this make sense? Will this rust out or rot the wooden lid?

3. I'm planning on attaching some fans to the back part of my canopy (fairly large open space in the back) for cooling down the HQI pendants. If I get maybe four computer fans, does anyone know if I can wire them all to a single plug?

Will my questions ever end? Perhaps one day. Until then.. thanks to all for the help.
