    hmm, I'll probably go with the Aquatic Life T5 HO Aquarium Lighting System then. Like I said, I like the built in programmable day/night timer.

    I would recommend this unless you're hooked on the built in timer.

    the price is a little nicer too...lol So with that one I'd just have to get a timer power strip?

    Or just a simple timer. Of course a timer power strip would work but it's not necessary. I use a simply one from Lowes I got for 5 bucks.

    how would you set that up with the three cords? The timers I see on lowes.com only have two outlets.

    I don’t know if this will help but I made a video showing my sump and the back of my tank, it doesn’t show how to set one up but it might give you some ideas and help you decide exactly what you want. It also shows my Aqua Controller JR and the RO system.
