Shut off switch with timer

I need your help. I am looking for a timer so I can shut off all my pumps for target feedings and come back on after a few minutes. Ideally, I hit one switch to kill the power and 5 minutes later the power comes back on. Some pumps and skimmers come with a "feed" button like this. I need to plug multiple devices into one. Does anybody know of something like this?

No. I have been searching and believe what I am looking for is called a countdown timer. I found one that goes in a wall socket and now looking for a plug-in or corded one.

I got a power strip with individual on ofd switch on each plug. Theres 7plug or 12 plugs. I got two 7plugs. I then use one plug and place a one to 3 plug adaptor and place my power heads on that adaptor. So i can turn them all off at once manually. I suppose if you wanted a timer you could put one in there but i like the manual power switches for each plug. The stick is triplight brand on amazon with surge protection of 1000+joules.

Like 24 bucks each
