My Coralife dual timer which has my MH, PC, Refugium light, and one Koralia 4 hooked up to it turns off randomly throughout the day. Yesterday it happened three times and today it happened twice! Recently the lights throughout the house have been flickering and we've had the electrical company come out to see what the problem was but they only looked at our box. I have the Coralife dual timer plugged into a GFI protector. The GFI doesn't cut the power, it's the Coralife timer that does. The built in surge protector turns from the orange color which means on to off throughout the day. I unplugged my Koralia tonight thinking there may be a short in the wires that is causing the surge protector to switch. Any ideas or advice? I'm going to leave the Koralia unplugged all of tomorrow to see if the lights turn off. It's either the Koralia since the wire goes into the water and maybe the saltwater corroded the wire and exposed it to water or the MH ballast is burning out and needs to be replaced. I thought a surge protector switches on if there is too much power going through, maybe that is being caused by the MH ballast. I have another Coralife timer hooked up to a different outlet but still on the same circuit to my heaters, skimmer pump, return pump and another Koralia 4 and that has not had a problem with turning off randomly.
