Go with a digital one, though I have to believe you can find a better price. The nice thing about digital ones is they almost always have a battery backup (replace the battery once / year) so if there is a power outage it remembers your programming.
Me I would go Zoomed I have two. Simple to use just turn the knob to the current time and push down the tabs (each tab is 15 minutes) to turn on and off.
The cons are the numbers and tabs are small have to bust out the glasses I use a letter opener to push down the tabs.
those would work but i have timers for multiple things like lights for different tanks and co2.
they are these ones. They also sell ones with the grounded prong but they're bigger. You could always just buy those non grounded to grounded plug adapters for like pennies and then ground it yourself to the ground or something. Very cheap like 2-3 bucks.

Yup, the time you turn on the solenoid will be dictated by how well your co2 diffusion method can get the saturation up to snuff, so by time your lights kick in plants are ready to do it`s thing.
I don't even see 2-3 bucks timers in toronto. >_> am i not looking hard enough. cheapest i found was 6 bucks and buying two of those is like buying the one 8 outlet from walmart. why is everything more expensive in canada? I know we are special but stilllllll lol
So i went to walmart just to look at timers and reading the description this one says its not for aquarium use. does anyone know why its not rated for aquarium use? or is it just to scare people for the fun of it?
^ Dude, that a nice find! I might pick that up, the dollarama timers I have are pretty cheaply made. I got a 300 Co2 dollar system controlled by a 2 dollar timer.
