Coralife Power Center

coralife digital timers. are not bad but there is a note with the model that people don't understand some times
there is different settings
1 is auto
,random,
off,
on, i have used one of these and own one
there are 4 const power plugins which are great then there is the timer side but the problem is
2 yellow plugs (for daylight)2 blue plugs (for night time ) the note is in the auto or on settings the daytime light can be programed at any time of day or week on and off settings after the daylights come on *note this is both daytime plugs at same time meaning if you want blue atnics on 30 mins before white this will not work
after both lights come on and timers runs it cycle
then when the off time comes
what ever is in the blue night time plugs then are running for the remaining time till daytime lights are to cycle back on this info came straight from the manufacture of this product
other features are it has built in clock,battery back up and can be used as a wave maker for different times off and on this is a nice product but has a flaw for 2 or more lights to run at different times if wanting different times for lights like on blue atnic at say 5pm then 5:30 daylights (white) then off at say 12am for white and for soft power down of blues at 12:30 am than 1 hour wait then moons on at 1:30 and off at 5:30 am then you need to go with the corallife dual timer strip this will give you more functions for you likes

some some light for ones that don't know about this product
keep up the good work living reefs
love this forum

I run the Nova Extreme T5 with a coralife timer and it works great, lites come on & go off when they are suppose to.

I use an aquacontroller jr for my main system and radio shack or grasslin digital timers in the shed. There is also an 8 outlet strip with controller that controls each outlet for the aquacontroller jr. you might want to look into that one. the aqua controller also provides you a true moon phase where the moon cycle is based on 15 degrees north and adjusts year around as the moon cycle is different than day light and darkness by 50 minutes each 24 hour period. hope this helps. good luck.
