though its not what your looking for you can find it cheaper and do it your self by going to lowes home depot and picking up two timers and 2 power cords.
If I bought them there would the timers usually have more than 1 plug? Because the regular lights have seperate plugs, and the actinics and LED are seperate as well.
what i do is just plug the timer into the wall and then into a power stripe this way you can plug in 5-10 things at once. those all in ones are what 20-40? plus shipping. if you dont have to do it all together it saves a lot.
Each timer has 1 plug coming out but that is what you can attach a powerbar to after the timer so you can have multiple lights or different systems running on that one timer. Then you get another timer and powerbar if you want a different set of lights on at a different time. Should cost less then $30 for 2 timers and 2 powerbars.
Home improvement stores do have dual outlets on a couple of items check Lowes I use both of these. Be cautious of not to exceed what they are rated for.

I have one of manual single Coralife Aqualight Power Center Timer and I hate it the dial stopped working correctly after a couple of months causing unreliable lighting. would come home and the lights would have never gone on or stay on over night because the switch knocked itself to one setting or the other.:wall: $30 down the drain I assume the extra money for the digital version is more reliable but I took the above approach from Lowes.
My .02 good luck

Thanks. 
I have a gift card to Lowes, how convenient.
The ones with 2 outlets are definitely better as the timers themselves will be plugged into a power strip (only 2 outlets near the tank, and I need the heater and filter plugged in) and I'd really rather not plug a power strip into the timer into a powerstrip, ya know?

I have the coralife power strip that is pictured. I don't like it. It works but is very confusing for me so I don't use it. If you pay shipping--you can have it.
