How much is the WalMart timer? I've been looking for another timer for my sump lights in a new set up and so far everything I have seen in the hardware stores are unsuitable and or expensive.

As for Coralife timers being crap, I paid less than $30 for mine and it is still working perfectly after 2 1/2 years. Maybe I was lucky but I based my recommendation on my experience.

Thanks for the responses as for timers, I went overboard and ordered a Reef Keeper Elite

the thing is, you can buy the generic versions of the coralife timers from just about anywhere...

sears sells them for 7.99 and they are identical other than branding and you don't get the blue and yellow colored plugs...

They don't work at all as a surge protector, I've seen these flare up and not trip time and time again.

Didn't someone on here have a housefire from a Coralife timer? Nice buy on the RKE, you'll be happy with it.

I am going to hijack my own thread seeing you wandered in here Lando.

Finally got the tank wet last night, looks incredible in the basement!

So far my only concern is the loud gurgle from the overflow draining. I inserted a short piece of airline into the drain cap which helped a bit. Though it still has the tendency to sound like a dishwasher. Any ideas?

Sand goes in tonight. Fish and Rock on Saturday. Ill be swinging by the store for a new CUC and some GFO this week or next..
