Hello,

For over a year now, I've used a manual timer for my betta's tank light.(very similar to this) Once I tear down his tank and replant it, I plan on keeping his lights on for the same amount of time as my guppy tank which is 11 hours a day.

What I would like to know is if I get a plug that allows you to plug in two or three appliances while only using one outlet, would it be okay to use something like that with the timer? I don't know if two tank lights(each canopy has two 10 watt CF bulbs making it a total of 40 watts for both canopies) would be too much on the timer.

If you need to see what the plug that I'm talking about looks like, just let me know and I'll post a picture.

Thank you.
