I have a few questions about Profilux's, apologies if this is not the most optimal place to ask them but since you brought it up, it jogged my memory so here they are.
The Vortech and GHL wave control modes, can they be applied to Tunze's as well? I would love to be able to switch a gyre's major flow direction every 6 hours by altering the min and max's for multiple units.
Can the controller's be purchased without the basic package of probes? Everytime I look into this it's always that you get a pH probe and an orp probe and a temperature probe and then the various packages add onto that. If all I wanted was to control my lights and timers, is this option available as a custom package or is one stuck with having to buy all those probes? I could maybe see switching out my Ranco temperature controller but pH and orp are things I haven't had to be overly concerned about over the years and I can't really see that changing going forward. I should add that the reason I would like to use a controller for my lights is that I have at least 3 levels of light intensities right now (staggering lights, pretty standard stuff) but the lights themselves are spread over three seperate 110V circuits for load balancing purposes (which is maybe not so standard). I would love a powerbar controlled by a Profilux that allows me the same circuit feed options since it would be nice to lose the individual timers whose clocks are currently drifting apart. The only problem is I'm afraid this is a very expensive option (please correct me if I'm wrong) as I think I need three controlled outlet bars in this case. Whereas a DIY option might involve a $100 simple PLC and a handful of 12V/110V relays but where that would fit the bill nicely it would just not have the nerd appeal of a Profilux but I'm really curious what the appeal is worth, dollar wise, in this case?
(Please feel free to reply in PM if that is the better approach..)
Thanks!
