How many times does everyone have on their tanks combined? This includes light timers, co2 timers, wave maker timers, any timer connected to your tanks.

Since we run our whole house on a generator, and have to shut it off at night, timers are irrelevant. Just one more thing, as Forrest would say!

TheEssigs

I use one timer per tank, just for lights.

0morrokh

I own 2 but only one is currently in use (2 of my tanks I turn the lights on and off myself when I get up and go to bed).

COBettaCouple

no timers on any tanks.

dang i have atleast 6 2 on my planted tank 1 for lights one for co2, 2 on my 56 gallon freshwater 1 for lights one for moon light, and 2 on my aquapod 1 for actinics and one for daylight. Much easier

I only have one, but it has an extension cable plugged into it, so it turns off the lights in three tanks.

We have a light timer on the 100g...we have the plants on a light cycle.
We are getting more once we move...then we'll know exactly how many more we'll need.

no timers on our tanks here... but we do have .."part timers" & "ole timers"....here!

I use timers all over the place when it comes to aquariums. I use them on day lights, night lights, feeders, powerheads (to circulate food during feeding time) filters (to prevent food from being sucked up during feeding time) and CO2 injection utilizes a controller.

Two of the timers adjust automatically to changing sunrise/sunset times (a bit overkill, I agree).

I love the ability to streamline...

sgould

No timers at all on mine.

armadillo

We have 4 timers. One on each of 4 aquarium lights.

Sabi

No timers in my tank...

MagpieTear

Just one, the Digital timer powerstrip thingy from Coralife. two daylight plugs, two night time plugs and 4 untimed plugs. Tis a good thing.

MudHog

Just one plug. Once I get my new fixture with lunar lights, I plan to keep them on 24/7. They are only 3/4 watt (hardly any electrical load for as $$$ is concerned) and LED which will likely never burn out. This way, the single timer for the main light will turn it on and off. Once the main light is off, the LED will be on to take over.

Leokiss

No timers for me,although i do plan on getting one in the future as the time my lights are on does have a tendency alter!

I love timers. I have six all together. One on the 150, one on the 45, 2 on the 55 reef, 1 on the betta Tank, and 2 on my Uromastyx tank (it's a reptile). Soon I'll have 2 for the Gecko for night and day. I also want more for my reef to go with more powerheads. Timers make things so much easier. I have a nasty habit of forgetting to turn lights off in the evening so they get left on too long. Timers save me a whole lot of trouble.

MudHog- surprisingly, the LEDs will fail.

MudHog

yes LEDs can fail, but they last alot longer than a standard light bulb or fluroscent bulb is my point.

pistorta

This is true...

My goal is to use them on all my tanks for night-time viewing.

Has anyone seen these? http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...s~vendor~.html
I want one so freakin bad, but 3 grand is a WHOLE bunch of money for a light. It has better than timers. Each LED is individually controlled. It can recreate cloudy days, moon light, full sun, and anything in between including slow fade on and off for true dawn and dusk. Most awesome light EVER!!!

I don't use any timers. Working third shift is actually pretty good for my fish lol. I turn on the lights at about eight thirty when I get home from work and then turn them off at about nine at night. Haven't ever really needed one.

Gozer_1: You're making me regret the money I spent on my Metal Halide/PC/LED Combination fixture.

King_Snuggles

just the light as my sleeping pattern is sparatic.
