What us the best all in one timer to put your lights on?
I'm new to the hobby and am trying to purchase a timer for my lights. I just can't find one that is programable independently. The one I have now only let's my two sets of lights come on at the same time, when I want one to come on an hour before. I have seen the single timers online but am really looking for an all in one unit. Any help please!

look into an inexpensive controller such as the neptune's aquacontroller junior. They are readily sold used on reefcentral.

an ACJR with a DC8, you will have 8 independently controlled outlets. u can have some always on, some on timers, and some off, and then u can do all kinds of other neato things as well with the controller...u can find em on here for 150 or less.

You can get the ReefKeeper Lite for $99, includes 4 controllable outlets and a temp probe.
