Light Timers & Power Strips??

[Virginia Reef]

I am looking for power strips and timers for my reef tank. Some the products (especially timers) that I find at the local home improvement stores say not for aquarium use. I haven’t been able to find these items on the various web sites that I use for other equipment.

Do the items marked “not for aquarium use” provide good service? Can anyone direct me to a source for good quality electrical components that will last in the salty environment under our tanks?

Thanks for your input.

you shouldnt be looking for something that can withstand any enviroment-you need to protect the electrical outlet/plugs from salt/water.

You can get the cheap 7-8 dollar timers (thats how much they are at the local HD here) you just have to make sure they are out of water/saltcreep zones IMO.
