What is wrong with a power strip and separate timers?
At least that way if/when one thing breaks you aren't throwing out the whole thing.
Some of my lights are becoming a pain and I can not find a good digital timer. There are brinks, intrematic and another one. But they do not have strong construction or maybe I am not looking at the right things in a timer.
Are any of those brands good ?? or could you please recomend me another.

if you have some knowledge and comfort with wiring, Lowes/HD sell in wall timers(digital/programable) I run 2 per tank the nice thing is my timers are up away from any salt, the outlesta themsleves are in my cabinet. took a little wiring bur works well, salt doesnt have any affect on my timers and they are easy to get to without getting in the cabinet.

I have been running lights off of a brinks digital timer from walmart for about 3 years now, one timer is a single outlet I split running 2 lights. Haven't had a problem, yet. I think I paid like $8 for them.

I used to buy those tombstone shaped intermatic digitals from Lowe's, but every single one of them has broke.
The brinks timers are probably much better. I've also started going back to the intermatic mechanical timers, and have never had any problem with them.
Thats what I am using now, and yes they work. I need one more for the moon lights and wanted to change them all out.

I use intermatic DIGITAL timers from Home Depot. No Problems and they have 2 places for plugs in each timer. Heres a link to a post. Check out pictures for more info.
