My advice: Get a good timer and build your own system. Those are very simple to build and plans are all over the place. You won't need a float if you get a good timer. It would probably cost abouty half, including the good timer.

Honestly i really dont have the time nor skill to build this just off of a plan therefore i'll just purchase this one and if i ever need another i'll have something to look at with the plans making it much easier!

But can you post a link to this timer?! Is that timer really that much of a factor can the one that comes with it now, not do a good enough job? Just asking because i'd like to spend extra money on more light if needed!
