I'm looking at putting timers on the tanks I'm working on. Each tank would need a timer for the fogger, air pump, and lights. And the ones I have seen look like they controll only one thing. Do they make timers that have more then one outlit, and controll more then one object? If so where is a good place to look? Or any info on how to manage this would be great.. thanks, ~SoBeK~

OSH usually has timers on sale for 3.99. Probably even cheaper on ebay or something.

Setups that I have seen have had the different systems on different timers. This offers 2 advantages:
1- simplicity. You want water to come on & go off at certain time; set that timer.
2- cost. The water timer goes belly-up, replace the water timer.

Cloudtops.com makes a mister called the Rainmaker, which is what we use. That one comes with a *really* nice timer for the water system; lets you have up to 14 an/off cycles per day, and vary the cycles by the day. They sell that with their rainmaker setup as a starting kit, relatively inexpensively.
Lighting, well, I have a design in mind, but it hasn't made it to paper, much less to implementation, that is fairly complicated (would require about 6 timers for all of it, plus 5 different sets of lights and varying dimmers, etc., including the misting timers)
