I have been using a Profilux II Plus system for almost a year now. Since I started my tank over a year ago, I have wanted to put in an automatic water change and top-off system. I have been told by my LFS that Profilux may have some equipment under development that may enable me to control this with my Profilux computer.

I have two forty-five gallon drums, one each for RO water and for salt water. The drums are in the basement and the tank is on the first floor. The tank is approximately 40 feet away from tank horizontally. The rise in elevation from the salt water drum is approximately 12 feet and the rise in elevation from the fresh water drum is approximately 7 feet. I have run three runs of ¼ inch water tubing from the tank to the drums (one for fresh top-up and two for water changes (one for salt water and one to get the old water to a drain)). I could also install electrical wire running between the tank and the drums if necessary. I would like to install a couple of pumps (one for salt water and one for fresh water) and then use water level monitors to control fresh water top-up and then set up with automatic water-change so that it changes out two gallons of tank water per day.

Can you tell me whether I can use my Profilux controller for this or whether I will need to purchase a separate computer to do the water-changes and top off?

Thanks in advance,
