Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[bourbon]

ok guys so I'm full of it today (questions that is).

So I've programmed home automation systems before and wondering if the programming is the same on the profilux
i.e. if water level sensor #1 is on (i.e. triggered) then turn on outlet #4 for 30 seconds (and outlet #4 would have top off pump on it).

is this like what you would do ??

2) can you program function keys on the controller i.e. have different lighting scenerios - i.e. one button to trigger feed mode, one button to run a macro that would signal a nother lighting mode. i.e. my tank will be in my home theatre - so could I program a movie mode where by the MHs go off, fans go off, actinics off, moon lights on - when I press a particular button on the controller?

Thanks

1. the controller is exactly like that. you can have the unit perform automatic water changes without you even being home by using float switchs, pumps and what not.

2) i do not believe you can alter the programming of the buttons on the display unit to control different things, although the keypad on the display head does mostly all you would need, feeding pause, sensor outputs, lighting demo, and so forth

When can we expect to get the digital powerbars in the U.S.? I currently have a Profilux Controller without any powerbars. Just waiting for the digital ones.

Hello Matthias; quick question about the simulator LED
-I will be getting a new ~60 gallon, 36" x 18" x 20" tank
- If I use the simulator LED for morning and night time (red and blue) lighting before my power compacts and HQI come on- (and for lightning effect) - how many will I need for this size tank? should I go with the strip or the little box type?

what size of propellor fan should I get also for this size tank?

Thanks
