Hi there,
I've been having a bit of trouble with the switching on my profilux plus II. What happens is sometimes when I hit ESC to start the feeding pause, when the timer runs out and it turns the pumps back on I get a little bit of a flicker where everything turns off for a second and then starts right back up. Not the end of the world but it's annoying and usually scares the crap out of the fish. Sometimes it will also happen if I just pull a plug out of the socket (cleaning a powerhead) and again if I pop the plug back in. These little episodes don't happen every time, maybe 30-50% of the time.
As far as set up goes, I recieved the profilux package with the 4 way analog bar in June 2007 and the digital powerbar a short while after (a month or so I think) I'm running firmware 4.03. I have the controller on a circuit by itself with some other tank related stuff (tunze wavebox and 6055) that is NOT GFI protected, the 2 powerbars are on a GFI protected circuit. The loading of the powerbars is as follows...
Analog: 1 Tunze 6045 (8 watts) 1 Koralia 4 (9 watts), 1 Hydor Heater (400 watts)
Digital: 2x250 watt metal Halide ballasts (340 watts each according to Sanjay's website so 680 watts) 1 T5HO ballst powering 2x54 watt lamps (guessing 120 watts?), 1xQuiet one 3000 pump (40 watts), 1x Vertex skimmer (35 watts) and 1x 2 watt moonlight (2 watts)
Also, it's worth mentioning that I never feed until after the halides have turned off or before they come on.
Any ideas?
Thanks
