I have the electronic one and it work great,had it for 3 years.I noticed that Zellers cary a similare powerbar,and it has 4 timed outlet and 4 strait power,and they are only 25.00.

Coralife timer are not worth the price you pay for them. I bought one and it lasted 6 months then it crapped out. Your better off buying the timers from canadian tire and plug them into a power bar.

i have a bunch of the big standard plugs that ive used for a while but i was hoping to streamline them and have a less bulky look. the digital one looks good but the dual one on the j&l site looks like it might be the best for me. I do not wanna pay 50 dollars for something that is gonna crap out on me in a few months tho. i could use that money to buy other useless things for my tank :lol:

I have the manual one for over a year, no problems.

Canadian Tire has a digital timer power bar by Woods. 4 timed outlets, 4 controlled by switch. I bought a couple of these when they were on sale for under $20. The loser manual says "not for aquarium use". If I am using these in dry environment (wiring box) I should be okay with these, or am I missing something?

Powerbar
 

Walmart sell the same power bar for $14.98. I have eight of them and they make me nervous....:neutral:

They are working fine although i would not bother trying to use one for dosing as they cannot cope with one or two minute intervals. every one i have tried, seems to reset itself.

I would be putting it under my where my sump is so there would be alot of moisture. how much is a wiring box? Im not the biggest DIY guy so i like to keep things as simple as possible/ im lazy :lol:

Those ones that say are not for aquarium use are identical to the coralife ones, even the insides are identical. Only difference is two relays are wired differently. I'm guessing coralife paid em a little extra to stamp that on.

ill give them a try then. i just dont want anything shorting out and ruining my equipment
