Anyone have experience with

Any one use the coralife digital timer. I just got 2 on ebay for $20 each. Are they hard to set up?

What about jebo heaters. Anyone have any feedback on them?

coralife d-t is a good timer but it can be slightly confusing the first time to progam. left side is only one progamable. top two are on first, when they go off the bottom two come on. the right side is constant power for skimmer, heater, powerhead, etc. you may also attach another timer to the right side. the large amp. pull is what is best, you dont have to worry about it shorting out if you overload, i dont think you can overload a 15 amp. with a fish tank supply.

i have the coralife timer and worked great till the timmer went out but not bad for 2 years of use. the jebo heaters are junk IMO i hade one in a FW tank and it didn't last over 2 monthes.

Thats cool. Yeah its only a 75 gallon tank with low wattage equipment (well excpet the lights) so I don't think I'll have to worry about over loading anything. The wall that the tank is on doesn't have anything plugged into it so I have 2 open outlets. I'm sort of worried about what the circuit breaker can handle for that room in my house. The tank is in the kitchen so i'm sure the fridge,oven, and dishwasher is on that same circuit. Even so my tank with everything running is only at 823 watts, and thats with everything on at the same time. I doubt my heaters will run when the lights are on, and the heaters won't run for long where I live.
