Got a little more done today. Built the box that is going to hold all the electrical plug's for the system, built a water catch tray for where my pump's will be sitting & started to get the light's mounted.

But hit a little snag, I have these programmable light switches in my house for our outside perimeter lighting on the house. I would like to use them on this tank of the light timer's but I can not find them. I require 5 of these switches.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find them, they look like this:

Grizz,

just came across your thread, I like your tank, I just got my 8 foot ( 96Lx22Wx24H ) glass tank up and running a couple weeks ago. took 6 of us to carry it into the house. I am curious to see what you do with yours.
not too many 8 footers around.
