Coralife digital works well for me, but not suitable for this application.

Assuming that a SCWD won't do it for you, what about this?

By the way, I assume you've solved this problem, but I notice they're selling egg tumblers at canadianaquatics.com.

I have one of the Corallife dual timers (not digital) and they can be programmed for every 15 minutes I think. I don't like mine very much as it can't seem to keep time. I have to move it ahead everyday. But other than that it works fine.

Thanks for all the input everyone. So far, none of the posted ones will turn on/off often enough except the Coralife ones, and I won't buy Coralife. Those timers are notoriously faulty...ask any LFS who sells them regularly how many they get back in a month!!

I couldn't find a suitable timer in the Woods online catalog, so I emailed them.

Myka, Canadian tire has digital indoor timers with up to 20 programable settings. I think they are made by noma. If you need a picture I can send on later tonight are work. I have a bunch of them.

Hey Drock, ya I was just gonna go check out the hardware stores, but I figured I'd ask on here in case there is something out there that would work even better.

The problem isn't finding a timer that will change a bunch of times a day, the problem is finding a timer that has TWO inlets that will switch on/off opposite of eachother. That's the trouble. Most of them are just single inlet. I may be able to make it work with two of those type of timers, but I'm not in any hurry, so I have time to see if what I want actually exists!

Here is a link Mseepman sent me.

I believe Mark knows where you can buy them locally. Thought it might meet your needs.
