Help Selecting a Profilux Controller

[Jacob Sellers]

Like the title states, I need help selecting the proper control for my needs. Here is a list of the equipment l would like to control:

3 x 400 MH
1 strip of leds (stunner strip)
Refugim light
Chiller (1/2 hp trade wind)
Heater
Return pump
3 closed loop pumps
Skimmer pump (would like to have the option to turn it off a night)
Calcium reactor
Ozone generator
UV Sterilizer
Exhaust Fan
Cooling fans (in canopy for lights)
Possible other reactors (i.e. carbon, GFO, etc.)
ATO

I have been pricing it out and its looks like the mega pack with additional accessories may be the best deal. What I am unsure about is if I will need additional expansion cards for the unit. I would like to run two ph probes. Any help appreciated Thanks.

Hi

My suggestion would be the Mega pack while still on huge discount and add the second pH port, until the 15th Nov you get 10% off all accessories with the pack purchase.

The only other thing I would add would be two high amp power strip protection bars so you can run your 400 MH without fear of causing degradation of the relays in the main power bar, athough the relays are in rush protected, long term high arc strike damage can occur with certain MH ballasts.

If you are wanting ATO then you can also add the ATO kit, you can choose between float or optical.

Thanks, would I need an extra card to run the OPR probe?

if you go with the mega pack that has the EX card installed then no, this is a standard option. Same as salinity and level 3 and varioable ports 5 and 6.

 

[Jacob Sellers]

Is the EX card standard on the Mega Pack or an optional add in?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Its standard

Mega pack comes with the P3 EX controller (EX meaning that the EX expansion option is factory fitted)

thanks for your help. is progressive reef still the place to order?

 

[this is me]

Hands down the mega pack ex. This and extra high amperage powerbar and you're ready to rock.
I got mine at Progressivereef. Ship very fast.

or GHL direct same company difference is GHL direct set up for USD payments so no conversion to play with.

 

[Jacob Sellers]

The 10% discount is not showing up on GHL Direct.

for the 10% off accessories you need to first order the pack then call them on 1866 997 7333 ask for Gareth. Call him after 10am Pacific Standard time, he will then give you a code.

The discount on the packs is already showing as standard pricing.
