I guess you did not read the entire thread from UR in the UK.

If you read the rest of the thread you will see the issue was caused by people connecting high voltage devises to the wrong port, even though each controller came with a warning label to make sure correct devises were connected to correct ports, and also it was mentioned in the manual.

So what GHL did to stop users making this error and blowing up their ProfiLux was to put a thermal fuse cut out inside all controllers, low and behold since then not one single issue

Sometimes it is hard to compensate for such user errors but least profiLux stopped future user mistakes in its tracks.

The person who actually tried to make a big deal of this also from what I gather was the distributors of a competitors brand.

AQ is actually nearly $200 more expensive than GHL

http://www.aquariumobsessed.com/ AQ $799

http://www.progressivereef.com/prodd...rod=prflxp2bgn

ProfiLux $599.00CAD

If you are still looking into the AQ best to take a good look at the RC forum to learn all what is happening and get user feedback, just as I would suggest with GHL or any other controller.

See you had to fix the profilux.... Kidding of course. Okay, last time i looked into things the profilux was more expensive, seeing this i would admit that If...if..one was to buy a controller profilux is the best out there...(this is being said by comparing specs/prices and not actually using it...if you want to send me a demo and i'll let you know what i think)
I do admit that profilux has the best name, my biggest question is the question of whether we need one or not...for me, seeing how many tanks are amazing that don't the fact my tank works nicely etc...i must conclude it is a nice way to automate things i can already do...not sold on the moon thing...if the profilux could automate my shaking of my zeovit reactor...that'd be nice...but again i can do that...
