I've been in the hobby for about 14 years now and I'm planning some upgrades.
I am changing the lighting of my reef aquarium. From a T5 fixture with Dali dimmable to Kessil LED.
From day 1 I control my lighting via the Profilux 3ex. My T5 fixture via a Dali expansion card, my Profilux Simu L via a L-port (1-10V) and refugium lighting via PAB (switching power socket).
I recently bought two used Kessil A360W Tuna Blue's (for display) and a Kessil A160W Tuna Sun (for refugium). Also modified a 3.5 3p audio stereo jack cable with a RJ12 connector at the other end.
My Profilux computer has 3x 2 L-ports available. I'm using L1/L2 for 2 stream groups. L3/L4 for the Kessil LED's for display tank (1 channel for intensity and the other for color).
L5 for Profilux Simu L (need some low level light for sunrise en -set, something the Kessil's cannot do). Kessil has a big gap between light off and it's lowest level on.
My question:
(I don't want to try it just because I'm afraid of breaking something.)
Can I use L6 (1 channel) for only adjusting the intensity of my refugium LED and using a preset color (by adjusting the knob), or do I necessarily need 2 channels, even if the second channel isn't used for controlling?
In the latter case I need an expansion card.
