Hi all
I bought some cheap mechanical timers for use with my new tank for lights, C02 and air pump, but a little nervous about using such cheapy timers. Been looking into digital ones, but come across other options such as remote options which sounds like a good idea being able to set it all up from a remote. I have also seen WiFi ones that you can control from your phone.
I saw these on Amazon:

Then there's these branded AMOS

I also read another thread that mentioned Timeguard branded timers which are much more expensive. In your experience do you think it is worth spending more on these ? are the cheaper ones reliable? I thought about buying a really good one for my C02 but then putting lights and air pump on the cheaper ones.
Then there are remote & WiFi options which I haven't done much research on yet.
Any advice or recommendations ?
Thanks
Paul
