    I am running (2) Mars Aqua (dual channeled) over my tank and I'm looking for a way to get them on a timer for a more consistent lighting schedule. With them being dual channeled they are already eating up 4 outlets on my 8 outlet power bar. Any timer that I have come across at local hardware stores are somewhat bulky and would partially cover neighboring outlets and eat up even more space. What is your (non apex/keeper/controller) set up like? Any suggestions on low profile timers that don't eat up space? Let's hear some ideas!

    Get dual plugged timers. So 2 plugs for each timer. Like 2 blue channels on 1 timer and w daylight plugs on other. That way only 2 timers.
