     |  Coralife Power Center Multi-Timer Problem
An old problem with my Coralife Power Center Multi-Timer seems to be reoccuring.
It won't turn off! 
I was gone for a couple days and I think my halide was on for 24 hours!
I will play with the tabs today and take a closer look.
Anyone else have this problem? |

I have never had a problem with my coralife. I have had it for over a year. | |

Matt,
I thought I read an article about those timers one time that advised people not to buy them because they can fail and cause a potential fire hazard. I'll see if I can find it and post back.
But, yes I have heard of people having problems with those timers.

Is the mode set to auto? and are there any conflicts between the seven timers? | |

GUESS WHAT. I put the supplied battery in it and it didn't work! :mad: I think the battery is dead. So now I am gone for a few days and I really don't know if my old timer turned off or not. Oh boy. | |

hey there Matt, did you ever figure out how to fix this. I am on my SECOND coralife dual timer with the circular dials and it is starting to FAIL again. The first one started to fail after 6 months and now the second one is doing the same thing!! :mad: My actinic won't turn off no matter how many times I turn the dial. The 10K lamp works fine so far, but I just had to unplug the actinic for the night. :mad:

IMO circular dial timers suck and aren't as reliable as digital. Pulling out tabs for the on/off times don't work that well! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
