I have the dual timer model, and like most people who have owned one mine sucks! I only have one working timer on mine. Canadian Tire has a good selection of timers and if you're lucky enough to catch a sale, you can pick them up pretty cheap.

my experience with the timers is that maybe due to the high cycling or the salt air around the tank they stop working in months.
my digital timer relay failed and the mechanical (spinning dial type) got dirty inside and started counting slower and slower and slower. I just buy one a year maybe. I didn't want to try a whole power bar.

I purchased the exact same timer as the coralife timer from Home Depot for $14.95. They are even the same "manufacturer". Coralife only brands them with their name. Mine decided to do the exact same thing once. I unplugged it and reset the time and the timers and it started working again and I haven't had a problem since.

The coralife timer has the out let split easily done you have to solder a wire from the NC connector to the second have of the power bar after you cut it in two then you have the same power bar as coralife. The timer is the same for the coralife power bar and the no name power bar. you can make a no name power bar a 4 outlet on and 4 outlet off power bar. just rewire it withe the wire that is connected to the side that is always on to the NC connector. easy as pie.
