Best Timer?

What's the best timer?

one that works. i use the ones that thay sell at the LFS, this is the one. and works fine for my CO2 and lighting

yup ^^ those are good. But for some reason my lfs decides to over price them and charge $15-20 for it, while if you go across the street to walgreens/rite aid its $5-6

My best timer is a manual one called my finger

Mine too BK. However, out of town with the fam is coming up and I want to get the cycle set / tested before I go.

lol, ya have seen them expensive but thay can be found for cheap. most places around me has them for 9.99 the cheapest ive found is at petco. i've also used this on a tank and works just fine also.

cfsinc if you are going to dish out $10 for a timer then might as well spend an extra $12 and get a nice coralife timer. With it you can control your lights, co2 and what ever else..

The best timers are the cheap ones that work. I get mine 2 for $5 at Big Lots, currently using 7 of them...best ones I've used so far.

Good idea BK - let's me put everything together.

I spend a little extra and get the timers that have batteries in them. That way if the power should happen to go out the timer will still be set at the correct time.

Like this...

Digital Timer

Wow, I'm glad I saw this post. I was about to get a timer from my lfs, who sells one model only for $37.99! I just assumed that was standard, but now I'll take the time to find a cheaper one....
