Do I need to buy a timer which is specially made for aquariums, or can I buy any kind of timer to turn the lights on and off? My LFS has a timer for around $30, but Target has got timers for Christmas tree lights in the $7 range.
 
:iagree:
 
are there any cheap store ones that hook up more than one?
as i need timers on all my tanks and have a few close together to hook up all 11 will cost a bundle, so still stuck with none
also i have a salt water one how can i use all 3 light with a cheepy? blue/daylight/moonlights
not to good a technical stuff but can follow directions very well,.......
sorry to hijack, ...
 
I've been using a brinks timer from walmart I bought for $6 for about 4 months now. Haven't had a problem with it yet.
 
i bought a out door timer that has 6 outlets at home depot for $19.00 i have three tanks so it works good for me
