JUNK |

Do not buy this timer. It's absolutely unreliable garbage. It loses its programs randomly and resets itself. It worked well for a month, but with the latest incident it was stuck in the ON position for an entire weekend leaving my tank exposed to light for 72hrs (Tank is in my office). My inverts were completely annoyed with 2 peppermint shrimp deaths (I imagine they starved because they are nocturnal feeders) and my anemone lifted off its rock to find a shadier location in the tank. Skip this timer and just use some powerstrips and old school dial light timers. Check out the reviews for this product over at marinedepot too. They're very similar! |

The perfect companion for aquarists |
Is delayed a bit, but with a monthly little adjustment has remained very stable.
Better than any timer. |

Good, but buggy |
This is my second Aqualight power center, I killed the first one.
It's a pain to setup the first time, you have to let it sit a day for the settings to take, no idea why.
The biggest issue is the clock on both of mine looses a minute every month.
Even so this replaces 3 power strips for me (day, night and always on) |

Digital Timer is Buggy |
I agree with an earlier post about the Battery Back-up being buggy. I bought one in late-Dec (it's now March 1) and it seems to just "lose" it's program for no apparent reason. The first time was while I was on vacation and all of my corals were left in the dark for several days (with one fatality). It's happened 2 or 3 times since then. We've not had any power-outages AND I've replaced the batteries in the unit - just to play it safe. It still loses it's program arbitrarily. Kind of defeats the purpose of having an automatic light-timer!
I've emailed the manufacturer - but no response :-(
Now I'm looking for a manual/dial-type of timer that (hopefully) I can rely on! I think I'll stay away from Coralife though. |

Skip it. |

The daylight-nightlight outlets were switched to start with. Then, I had a problem with a protein skimmer, and some water got onto the unit. Rather than tripping the surge, it started sparking and smoking. Fortunately, I was in the room, and was able to switch it off before a full on fire. Needless to say, the computer/timer functions are completely dead now. Skip this one. |
