Profilux II plus aquarium controller

Dave C · #1 01-10-2007, 04:56 PM

With equal respect Marc, the thread that the quote I posted came from had nothing to do with proline or Profilux. Yet while I was reading that review of the AQT controller I had to read about the benefits of Profilux & the negatives of AQT. I guess I could have not pointed out that the Profilux has some problems on this thread, much like all new equipment does, and instead just posted a link to a positive review of the AQT controller as an alternative to the Profilux. Would that also have been inappropriate? Because that was how the discussion of the Profilux controller showed up on a review of AQT.

What I'm saying is that if my input here is inappropriate then it was equally inappropriate on the other thread. You may refer to my posts as trolling & I'll end them now... but all they are is a similar type of intrusion as was done on the AQT review. Equally inappropriate, or equally acceptable. There was no hue & cry when it was done on the AQT thread yet here it seems to be undesirable. I am new to this forum and am learning the rules, both written & unwritten, as I go. I assumed from the behavior on the AQT thread that it was acceptable to offer alternatives & point out problems on a review thread. Perhaps a moderator could explain to me the difference in the two threads & the reaction to them. But as I said, I'll end my input here.

I purchased a Profilux II Plus system. Can't wait to get it! I heard Profilux is coming out with a Powerbar6D 6 socket digital powerbar. Does anyone know when the Powerbar6D will be released? I might hold off on buying the 4 socket powerbars if the Powerbar6D is going to be released soon. Also, any information regarding the pricing of the Powerbar6D?

There was a clear comparison of the 2 units in that thread before my post& that is why I posted.
As what you think is right or wrong ,I think you should take it up with Titus ,other than that ,you are taking this post off topic .

MNSPS the 6D bars are going to be in the comming shipment before the end of the month.
As for pricing there will not be a major price increase ,it is almost as you were paying per socket.

Sigh. For one second look at this from another pov then your own. Yes, there was a clear comparison before your post. But the fact that a comparison was made on a review thread for the AQT unit went unchallenged. Therefore it's ok to make those comparisons so it should also be ok for me to do so on this thread. And what I think is right or wrong isn't at issue here nor is it important whether you hijacked that thread or someone else did. I'm not trying to make this personal, I'm trying to understand why the rules aren't applied consistently. And Marc raised the issue about whether my post was appropriate or not so your advice should be given to him. I believe your bias is getting in the way of your objectivity. My post on this thread is no more argumentative or inappropriate then yours was on the other thread. If there is something wrong with hijacking this thread then there was something equally wrong with hijacking the other thread. If there's something wrong with pointing out that Profilux users are experiencing trouble with their units then it's equally wrong to point that out with AQT users. And if Marc wants to complain about my posts then he should complain to Titus, not me. It's a matter of consistency in the application of whatever rules apply.

Will the Powerbar6D's require a different expansion card then the 4 socket powerbars? I'm planning on just using two of the PowerBar6D's with my Profilux controller. Can they plug into the existing S1-S4 and S5-S8 sockets?

The new powerbar will be connected to the same slot,then you will be able to chain the next 6d bar to it ,.....
what is different with the 6d bar is that it come with a microp inside ,so
Beside the larger amount of sockets that can be controlled (up to 24) and
the easier wiring the digital powerbars have additional security
features. The powerbar checks if ProfiLux is still "alive" and is giving
proper commands. If the powerbar recognizes
some trouble the sockets will be set to a predefined programmable state, eg.
heater off, pumps on, whatever.

All is well here the controler is working good now the problem with the one socket staying on has gone away will keep an eye on it to see if it happens again just need to mount the level sensor and the Propeller Breeze. hope to get it done this weekend and then i will work on the LAN card On that not Jason are you getting any of the speed controls for the propeller Breeze if so I need one. Also do you know if the new 6 socket power bar can be chained together with the 4 outlet bars ? I need one of thoses too

alittle off topic but is it you (Jason) that brings in the wavyseas? if so do you know if they make a extention for the control wire?

Well I better get out side and start shovleing

Later Doug
