light timer

as i about to get my Mh, i was wondering, what do u guys use to control light? what kind of timer? i have 3 set of lights, 2 250 mh, 24 led moonlight and 2x54 t5 for supplement,

 

I use one of these to control the tank. AquaController 3

 

I use this guy. It works just fine. $9 or so at Lowes.
The manufacturer is Intermatic. It's rating is sufficient for the voltage and amperage of MH lighting.

 

What ever you do, dont get this one

it cant handle the draw of the MH's

 

I was thinking about getting the digital oneso I guess no go? What would be a good adapter with power surge and timer? I read something about ac rack mount but found nothing on them they r the one that have individual switch so u can turn things on and off

 

this is what i use
Intermatic 24-Hour Outdoor Timer - HB31RD81 at The Home Depot

 

The single digital timer will handle the MH's. I went through 3 of the dual timers before I called a tech. rep. from coralife. He said that the dual cant handle the draw of the MH but the digital one can, go figure.

 

i dont trust them
