 |  Timer from Home Depot for Powerheads
I was at Home Depot 7 times over the weekend...don't ask I worked on projects for the house all weekend  . Anyways I ran into a digital light timer that allows you to setup 14 independent on and off times for a day and set it to for monday - Sunday. A setting for on and off is considered 1 of the 14 events. I setup one of my powerheads on it and the powerhead comes on at 14 different times during the day. Cost 19.99.
For instance I set it up like this
on 12:00am
off 1:00am
on 2:00am
off 3:00am
on 5:00am
off 5:30am
on 6:30am
off 9:00am
and so on until Midnight.
Interested in your thoughts.
Sean

Its a light timer designed to make it look like somebody is home by turning a lamp on and off at different intervals throughout the day. You can only plug one powerhead to it, although I'm sure you could get a plug adaptor and hook up multiple PH, but they would all be on the same schedule.
When I get home from work I will get the UPC and post it.

Wow....random setting too! That should make for a nice powerhead controller for varying the current in the tank!
I am getting two.....

Wow, so many things can be adapted for a marine aquarium. Attach your powerheads to those and that is as real as it gets! | |

i use somthing similar to turn my metal halides on and off, they work great and they are cheap for what you get, i don't know about the one in the above posts but mine can handle 15 amp loads so you can use them for anything
