Have a controller and some stand alone timers for the lights.
Controller is downstairs and runs everything on the basement sump so no problems there. One in-wall basement timer for the MH was easy as the ballasts are downstairs. For the T5s as the ballasts are below the tank just put another timer there.
What the grand plan was, but not going to bother with, was having switched recepticals below the tank and pulling some Romex (proper house wire since routing in wall and joist spaces) back to the basement to connect to the controller.
Never did either yet but since the controller can be on a PC, idea is to run a RS232 cable between the controller and to a desktop upstairs.
