yeah i saw those things at ***** (yuck) and i havent seen them at my lfs (which i like) so i would say avoid it and throw down the 20 bucks, and buy some strips and timers. i got a timer at walmart and it works great ($5) but it isnt grounded :[ oh well , i still like it

well, i've seen other threads like this. same outcome. although i wouldn't ever buy one if they worked great....cause i agree with SCSInet. all in one units or whatever it may be, won't allow you to swap parts or peices out.

I agree I like my 3$ power strips with my 11$ digital timers with a battery backup. even automaticly adjusts for daylight savings time. (can set up to either 14 or 28 different "events" (on off switching per week) plus you can set it for random (havent found a use for that feature but I could do it if I wanted to) thats like ten times the versatility of the coralif power center for half the price. and like mentioned before.... if something breaks I just replace the one part not the whole unit.

I had one......once. I smelled something, like wires cooking :scared: . Felt over everything in my house, never thinking my power strip under my fish tanks, they all have smoke detectors next to them.
Of course my fiancé checks the fish tanks and finds the power strip is hot to the touch
.
I unplugged it and everything and threw the strip into the pool.
Now all my striped are fire shields strips with shock shield outlet adaptors and 1 foot extension liberators for my box style plugs
.
I love esu/coralife but this was a black eye for them.
If you do a search for digital timer strip outlet, you will find the ones coralife uses but not with the coralife logo on it.

Can you post a picture of that... I also like the idea of a smoke detector by the fish tank electrical hook-up.
