Hey Micheal,

I'd love a copy. I just have it plugged into my digital power bar and only one out of the three fans is currently running. Any idea why the other two might have stopped?

Cheers,
Gord.

I will dig a copy out for you no worries

Are you using it via a breeze speed controller or stand alone?

i cant believe how big this thread is. anyway i finally attempted a firmware update today. was very easy to do. there was a misunderstanding on my part because after the firmware update, all settings are lost. the program reminded of it before it started so i quickly wrote all the info down but after the fact i realized the info i re-entered afterwards was scrambled because my software was not updated. but other then that it was very easy. i can finally setup my digital bars now and clean up my bloody wiring. hopefully next days off the wife will go out with the kids and give me time to do it. the controller has been working awesome for me though. i love it. currently it not controlling anything but when i add my digital bars i will have it control ph, temp, eventually sump water level. its runs all my lighting. the past while the unit has been getting thrashed regarding the WLAN, and i have personally not had luck with getting it to work either but that is only one small part of the entire package. the additions keep getting better and better. i personally seen one of the new dosers at hidden reef and it lasted a whole 3 hours and it was sold. it was awesome. now if only the controller could make my corals grow faster..................

OK, so far my experience has been good, I think the controller has a lot of potential, but I am just getting started setting it up. I have the following questions:

1. According to the manual, there is a "fitment" available for attaching the controller to the wall..."Using our optionally available fitment the unit can also be attached to the wall." Can anyone tell me where to get one of these?

2. I continue to have problems displaying a graph of readings. I have updated both the software and the firmware to 3.03. I don't seem to be able to see any readings on the chart.

3. I have heard about the Redox / Salinity Conductivity Expansion module and would like to get more information how it works and what it does. Do you have a brochure at all with more detailed information?

I am going to go through the manual again and I'm sure I will have more questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Gord.

Too less information for me. Question:
-> Can you load measurement data out of ProfiLux into a file? Is there any data?

-> there is no special brochure about them because there is not much to say: They measure ORP and conductivity and can control switchable socket outlets. All parameters are freely adjustable. More can be read in the ProfiLux manual under "Redox" and "Conductivity".

All fans are hard-wired, that means: if one is running the other should do so, too.
There are these possibilities for the malfunction:
- the contact of plug and socket (PCB inside the extrusion) is lost - maybe through transport
- PCB is defective
- motors are defective
reason for defective motor and/or PCB: saltwater!
Please read the manual carefully, contact with salty water must be avoided in any case!

If I buy the bluewhite, sunrise and blue LED sticks (55cm) should all of them be centered over the 1.2m aquarium? Will the lighting be spread equally if all of them are centered?

[Aqua-Digital]

You should only need one stick for the size of your tank centered.

the flashes will project themselves through the tank without any trouble, bearing in mind in nature a flash seen from above when under water will have varying degrees of intensity.

If you want a more controlled flash area you may also concider the spot option also
