Did you set a time for both the "ON" and "OFF" settings? Also make sure you're days of the week are correct since ti can set each individual days, weekends or weekdays. But you should have it set to auto like you have it at. I dunno what else to suggest, sorry. Link to comment
One Eyed Bunny Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 The digital timer is a pain in the ass. I hate one for about 2 days and then I said screw it. You're better of with those dialed timers. They're pretty accurate once you set the time and you can set them in less than 30 seconds. Link to comment
cyenna Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 ya, i get that problem every once in a while when my electricity goes out. First check what Phixion said and then if it's still acting funny, try setting the timer to go on in the next minute while you're there to observe it. It should turn on. Then you can reset the timer to go off in the next next minute and reset the on program for the real time you want. Hope that wasn't too confusing. Link to comment
Phixion Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Also double check the AM/PM settings as well, since that part on the LCD is small, it could get overlooked like I almost did when setting mine up. Link to comment
travisurfer Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 i just use 2 of those dial-type timers Link to comment
One Eyed Bunny Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yeah. I like the dials better. They make a double dial as well. It has a dial both at the top of it and the bottom which allows you to set one for lighting and one for wave makers. It looks to be pretty entertaining once I decide to make a wavy-ish tank.

mshollenberger Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 The coralife dual timer is a mess. I went to Target and bought two digital timers for the same price, works like a charm now. Link to comment
