May be separate inividual timers will help, which you can get at Home Depot.
They will be on sale now that the Holiday Season is approaching.

No need, the APEX is going to be here middle of next week anyway. In the meantime I'll just control my lights with what I have that's working. The digital ones have worked better for me than the analog ones so they will do OK in the meantime.

Well looks like they were the last Coralife product I'll buy. I talked to their customer service line and they offered to replace them for me if I sent them to them (Shipping costs on me...). The shipping alone would be worth more than these POCs.

They probably carry it because it sells well to beginners. It is shameful how much money new hobbyists often end up wasting on Coralife. The products aren't even that cheap.

After trying one of those bars and always failing I went to a proper aquarium controller and never looked back...
Started with the Reefkeeper Lite at 119.99$ which is a steal for what you get and then upgraded to a Apex Lite just because I wanted the net/cellphone/tablet control capability and needed extra outlets...

Now my Apex runs two dossers(Alk and Ca), Temp, Ph, fan, return pump, heater, skimmer, ATO, sump light and currently controls my vortechs(12 different programs during the day/night) and soon it will control my radion leds as well. I also added the advanced leak module which saved my rear end a few times as well.

Yeah I bought the Neptune Apex JR and it has been functioning flawlessly. Last night I was even able to turn off a power head when I noticed my spiny cucumber was getting too close. I didn't even have to get my fat butt off the couch, I did it all from my iPad.
