i had 2 of these old timers (mentioned in the thread) and i converted them to this wavemakeing powerhead timer!!! i made 2 and positioned them at either end of my 30 gallon. The one one the right is on for 20 seconds then there is a 10 period of no movement (besides filter) and then the one on the left comes on for 20 seconds then 10 second period of no power head action. this creates a

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ~~~~~~~~ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ ~~~~~~~~~~ Wave motion!!!!!!

therefore, i have flow from right to left for the first 20 second on period and then flow form left to right for the second 20 second on period.!!!


DO IT!

I seriously doubt that is a safe setup. I would imagine that cheap time will wear down and catch on fire. Maybe not but I would not risk it.
