I recently bought a new light system that has two cords. Is there a inexpensive reccomended timer that will allow me to set up two different on off times? Ive seen a few online but not sure if they are setup to all come on at same time or not.

I'd say you need two timers if you want 2 different light cycles. There are dual timers out there but they have only one timer setting so they'd be all on, or all off.
Coralife makes a power strip with timers, but I've seen them fail too many times to recommend it. We used to carry that but I've returned so many defective that I quit stocking it.
If anybody else makes such a thing, I haven't found it (short of a digital controller).

HD has some that are not too big and are not too expensive (around $15 for the non-digita and a bit more for the digital). From 30 years in the electrical industry I have learned to keep it simple. Digital is subject to failure from surges and spikes from things like lightning. If go with the non-digital the only thing to fail is the motor that drives the clock or the contacts that form the switch. Digital introduces a lot of sensitive electronic parts.
