you can buy digital timers that have a 1 foot cord on them which would solve your problem. a lot cheeper than buying a power bar that was made for the fish industry.

I bought a couple power bars from Home Depot that have "swivelling" outlets. The outlets actually turn 180 degrees around the power bar. I have 2 timers plus extra stuff plugged into each. Not pretty but works great.

I know the APC units new are expensive, but there is a few other brands with 8/16 outlets for about $120. For me, these were cheaper than 16 timers as I got them as demo units for one of my server rooms.

That is a really cool device. Definatly see a huge use for these. One question though - what do you do with only 8/16th of an outlet?

jk....

I use a Coralife Digital Power Center Timer for my lights and heater and a Natural Wave Multi-Cycle Timer/Wavemaker for my pump, powerheads and filter. I like both of the products.

They also have these at Ikea. 2 pac for $5 I think.
