Electronic Switch Device VERY INTENSIVE - $200

[BBoley24]

This I built to run my entire 120 gallon saltwater aquarium. It timed my 6 ballasts from Metal Halides to High Output Fluorescence. It has double switches... electronic switches... timers... You name it... it's got it. I worked really hard on this thing and it ran for about 6 months when I sold the tank. I have well over 40 hours of work put into it. There must be at least 300 dollars worth of parts in it.

very nice!! are you an electrician

Somewhat. I am not certified but I wire cottages and apartments for a complex here in Pittsburgh and have an inspector come through afterwards. Those top 3 timers are 27 dollars a piece.

It's funny though, I can see some people say to themselves "oh I can do that". Im sure that you probably can. Doing it is another story. It was like a puzzle that you start on and work on from time to time a bit each day so you don't get burnt out. The bottom right switches are independent to separate outlets on the back thus 8 switches on just the bottom panel alone.

Also, each side has it's own independent grounded cord. I had 2 dedicated breakers for my lights and pumps thus I split them up to two separate outlets. The plugs also light up to let you know that they're on.
