You can get timers from IKEA for under $10 or get "Theben" timers for about $20.

Some of the IKEA timers tend to fail after a while but they're cheap and works.

You can also get electronic ones with individual day/week settings but that's not necessary for our tanks.

It is those 24hr analog timer?
If it is, then just push down the black (or other colour) tabs according to your preference.

Then, there is a switch at the side.
One direction is to bypass the timer (i.e. direct supply electricity to your equipment)
The other direction is to enable the timer.
