I use the cheapie timers from WalMart and Lowes. Not sure they have 2 outlets, though. But, you can put two of them into a power-strip (6 plug or whatever you want to call it)

Thanks, Dave.

I'll look around our Wal-Mart to find some.

Would the above light fixture be good for my 29gal 30'' tank? Its only 48w, but almost all of the light is reflected back into the aquarium. Would this give me a "high light" or "medium light" tank?

Could anyone help? I'm thinking about buying that light fixture (not from ebay, though) and I could really use some guidance.

Check for prices on the Current Nova Extreme. I have one on my 29 gallon tank and am very happy with it.
