Lighting timers/controllers

[curlsoc]

Is anyone familiar with Aqua Controller Jr or any others like it? I have seen it on the water cave site. Unfortunatly, they don't carry anything like it here. I want to get timers for the new light I got (BTW, WOW!!! What a difference
the MH makes!) to set things to come on at different times of the day
and I was thinking by the time I buy 5 timers at $15 or $20 each, I
might as well put the money towards something like this. ($229) I bought the
cheap equipment website 2x250 4x65 PC and 6 LED luner lights (these are really neat!). Each MH has a cord, the fan has one, the PC's have
one and the LEDs have one for 5 cords total. My tank is a 110 gal 30" tall. I plan to do soft on the bottom and SPS waaaaay down the line on the top.
I want to have something like this:
Lunars on at night
PC's come on in the AM, lunars shut off soon after
One MH on around 10:00 or so and fan
Next on about 30 min later
Shut off one MH around 3:00 or so
Shut off next one at 3:30
Shut off fan at 4:00
PC's off at dusk, lunars on.
I like the fact that it does more than I need to do right now, I hate
to have to replace things... Plus it can mimic sun cycles

I have the ACJr + DC8. I only have the temperature probe . I use it as a glorified timer. I also use it to turn off my MH once the tank temperature gets to 83deg. Before my Tunze, I used the ACJr as a wavemaker. I love it.
