Source for surge supp./timer

Can anyone refer me to a good type of multi outlet surge suppressor with one, preferable two, timers built in? I am tired of having this cheap single outlet timers rigged up all over the place. I did some digging around on Prem Aquat., Reefgeek, Thatfishplace and Marine Depot but didn't locate a good answer. I would rather not drop more then $50 before shipping if possible

On the surface, I see the Coral Life ones at TFP reasonably priced, but I think we established these are prone to fire. I felt like resorting to go back to Lowes and buy all he crap separately, but there has to be a better way.

Good tip there Jeff. I may try to stop there in the morning tomorrow.

Maybe if we configure something everyone likes we can ask for them to swing a group buy discount. I should watch what I start, I am so swamped with work each March & April that I wouldn't be able to support it much.

I will pass along what I find if I get over there.

No problem Bob. It's been awhile since I've been in there so I'm not sure if they still make them. They used to have used parts bins in the back where you pick up all kinds computer fans cheap.

It's called Lashen's. They've scaled back a lot of what they used to do, but if anyone would have such a thing it would be them.

Hey Sid - Reefsandrotts was kind enough to pass this link to a product that fits the need in a basic manner. The problem is the hardware operation discontinued them and I haven't had the chance to search further. A client of ours at work is playing a power game and has me working 12 hour days since. :mad: :mad: I hope to reward myself with some livestock and take a drive down to Aquatic Obsessions with their 25% off promotion this weekend ;D

I was hoping to call Intermatic to see who can sell them to me as I want one for the reef and one for the holiday lights.

Actually just remembered the black one is a little easier to use imo. Just a little simpler. The green has all kinda dawn dusk time settings, area, and time zone settings, i think sometimes less is more:)
