pic coming, regarding the ground. I have a ground wire (individually) going from the outlet screw to the blue wire on the Intermatic ss8c. It says not to use the red wire so I didn't.
I've been working on wiring these timers all day and I got it to work but not properly.
here is what I'm dealing with
Ok here is how I wired it up:
black (hot wire) from outlet to timer (each done individually)
White (neutral Wire) one wire connected from one outlet to the other...
I've had one and although they are cool fish, they only come out during feeding and are easily harassed by even the nicest tankmates. They bury in rock holes and in the substrate. You will hardly ever seen it.
