I have the home depot light timers, they work. I have to run two separate ones though for the individual channels.

I'd like to find a controller that could ramp up both channels independently and control intensity/ time.

Any suggestions?
 
I know some folks in reef-pi community who have hacked viparspectra , I believe the same principles should apply with commercial controllers are well. but since there are a variety of blackboxes out there, those hacks may or may not be applicable to your light specifically. There are some youtube videos on this as well.

The more I'm looking, the more it looks like it isn't happening without big mods.

I think new lights would make more sense.

I've had such good luck with led that I might go with sb reef lights next time.
