Ghl Profilux Discussion And Support Thread

[Aqua-Digital]

Hi

You can run these off one port for example L1L2 etc

You will need to first split the port and then split it again thus giving you four outlets.

*&#%...... I thought I had a spare splitter at home,,,, arrrrrg another order from Joel..... The shipping is more then the splitter... Well that was stupid of me...

[Patrick1]

So my profilux has a L1-2 port, L3-4, and 2 S ports. I am running my 2 power bars taking up my S ports. I am running my 2 controllable ballasts from the L1-2 port and my LED bars on the L3-4 port. My goal is to run 4 Tunze in a wave pattern.

Am I correct to assume I am a port shy?

[Aqua-Digital]

At this point i would suggest getting the EX upgrade kit, this will expand your capabilities greatly giving you L port 5-6 and also redox and salinity and level control 3 all without touching any of your 3 expansion sockets

Thanks Michael,

Your support of this Thread has been out standing. The biggest problem I seem to face is the set it and forget it. I mess with things about once every 4 months and have to re-learn a bunch of functions. So I am going to yank the LED's for the next month so I can run the Tunzes. I will contact Joel about the EX upgrade next month.

I am going to be adding a 4 pump dosing system within the year. With all the extra features now out for the system is there a risk of running out of ports?

[Aqua-Digital]

In the long term no you wont , however if you are looking at running 1001 ph probes tomorrow then you might

if looking at running the dosing station i may suggest looking into the balling method of mineral and calcium replenishment, this is the method that has revolutionised the way things are done in Europe with huge success

I just purchased a Proflux Plus II With all the toys second hand.
One question I have is:
With my Fish room already 3 years running and the power sources all over the place is it possible to use longer RS232 cables or build your own cable.
Sorry this question could have been addressed already, but I'm a total noob

BTW I was able to upgrade the Firmware and PC software and the WAN is working perfectly.

Hi

You can use the ProfiserV5 which is 5 meters long, for downloads and uploads through RS232 you must use a genuine cable due to cross over

Welcome the the ProfiLux club

[Jason McK]

Thanks for the Welcome, Ive been trying to get into this club for awhile . There are a lot of fans here on Canreef.

Sorry I didn't mean the RS232 but the phone type cable is what I'm looking to extend.

[Aqua-Digital]

Argh the cable better known as VSL5, yes readily available and should be in stock with Progressive reef, you can extend up to 50'
