coralife power centre - Page 2

I've had my Coralife Power Center for ~3 years. It has both a day & night (2 day & 2 night + 4 constant) timer + wave-maker timer. I also have a couple Woods digital timers from Wal-Mart($15)/Canadian Tire(>$15). The Woods does not have a night timer. They both have a lithium battery backup and definitely look like they're from the same plant. The only thing I had to replace on my Coralife was the backup battery (~$4). If you are trying to save space and you like the day/night feature, I would recommend the Coralife. However if your using one for the wave-timer function, I can say my one of my Koralia's have a hard time restarting after the power goes out (now resolved with a backup battery, which I recommend for everyone!). This ended up being a much longer review than I intended, and could go on....fortunately for anyone reading, I'm getting sleepy.

I've had one for ~3 years too, has always worked flawlessly. Only reason im not using it anymore is my chiller controller craped out and had to get an AC jr.

I tried one of these for a year and then just gave it away. http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/wm...Single%29.html

My lights would turn on and off suddenly in the middle of the day or night. I think the little plastic timer tabs didnt hold in place very well. I've never actually owned anything by coralife that wasnt a POS.
