If you wait you dont get the large discount on the PIII upgrade kit.
Ok this is how it works -
Most know now that the beauty of the Profilux is that you are never left with an outdated controller everytime GHL bring out a Successor to the profilux, so the P3 will be available as a whole unit OR for ProfiLux plus II current owners, as an upgrade kit.
SO if you buy a ProfiLux plus II pack before the P3 launches YOU WILL get a good discount on the P3 kit when it comes out.
So if you wish to purchase a ProfiLux but wait for the P3 to come out you will lose out on the discount on the P3 kit.
P3 is expected to launch (bar any technical issues) at Macna in September.
Buy a Plus II kit now and get the discount on the kit, if you want to save money that is

YES This is becuase GHL believe in looking after existing clients as much as new ones.
I have to ask too.....Is this right? Current price Profilux II + Profilux III upgrade will be LESS than the cost of the equivalent Profilux III? I'm assuming is on the same basis such as Ex package to Ex package..
This is very impressive if this is the case, and certainly makes my decision easy as well.
Thanks,
Mark

Thats what I am been telling folks for awhile. Hence why I brought my controller now.
Profilux has the most functions ATM, and I do not see any the other controllers matching it. It would take a big software change for the RKE to attempt it.
They still having the 1200 email per hour bug, lol.
I really don't see APEX doing much either.
My understanding the upgrade kit sale will only last a very short time after the P3 has been release. But not 100% sure.

I went back and re read it... its valid only to people who purchased a p2 Before the release of the P3...
So if I get the $490 P2 can I plug it into my network?
If I get the $899 P2 EX will I be able to use all the modules I pay for later?
Will there be a P3 and a P3 EX?
Can I go from P2 to P3 EX?

If I bought that would I still get the Discount?

If I get the $899 P2 EX will I be able to use all the modules I pay for later? Yes, but that price seem high to me, should be around $650, cherry Corals only updates the prices once you check out, its about 25% off.
Will there be a P3 and a P3 EX? Yes.
Can I go from P2 to P3 EX? Yes, just need to buy EX and the upgrade kit to P3.
Keep in mind, all my answer is coming from top of my head when I ask them these questions like a month ago.

Luis,
Thanks you have saved me an evening of work
Luis has it pretty much nailed really.
I would note one thing, the PIII will have a hugely advanced ethernet capabilities not offered on the standard LAN card available now so if you can hold off on this piece of the pie for now you will save yourself later, having said that the current LAN cards are being pretty much given away to see people through until the launch of the PIII
SeanT - We will take (IF READY) pre orders at Macna, we have no sales license for NJ or will be getting one.
To clarify a few points
A Plus II can be upgraded to a PLUS II EX
A Plus II can be upgraded to a P3
A Plus II EX can be upgraded to a P3 making it a P3EX
Thats the family tree basically.
There is also a PIV in the pipeline also but this is going to be for the mega systems out there cabable of controlling and supporting whole marine life centers and multi thousand gallon tanks. The PIV will be a whole different branch of the Plus II and P3 tree, but the P3 will have a large proportion of what the PIV will offer. I have no details of the PIV its miles away, possibly two years.
In regards to price of the P3, I have no price to give right now on the P3 as it is still in working development. I hope to have more news on this by August.

I'm really interested in the Profilux setup and like the idea of upgradeablility. Couple questions ... where can I get the LAN card "given" to me if I purchase a complete Profilux system with a dosing pump also? Progressivereef seems to have the best prices, but does cherrycorals also give a discount at checkout as suggested earlier in this thread? Cherrycorals does not have very much listed in stock on their website. Thanks ... I must say that this level of customer service is amazing and I very much appreciate your presence on this forum ...

Hiya
We no longer supply Cherry corals your best prices will be from progressive reef they have huge inventory at all times.
www.progressivereef.com
I cant imagine a retailer "giving you" a $194 piece of equipment I am sorry about that, but all our retailers will work with you to achieve a package that suits your needs and within your budget I am quite sure.
Customer service both prior to ownership and after care is paramount, and it is always very heartening to read such nice comments, thank you
