Are there going to be any of the GHL dimmable T5 light bars available, and if yes, what will the prices be?

I'm trying to decide between dimmable ballasts to convert my TEK light and GHL lights.

My Profilux II Plus arrived this week and it's a lot of fun figuring out the settings and the many options it offers!

I can't wait to see what new functionality they will be releasing with the Firmware 3.00 especially in regards to dosing. I was going to get a Grotech TEC III NG digital dosing system, but I'm going to wait and see what the new capabilities for dosing pump control will be. Ideally I would like to be able to control two seperate dosing pumps that could be switched on and off on an hourly basis.

Thanks for the welcome!

How soon do you think the DIY ballasts and module are out?
And do you have any idea of the sizes?
I have a Tek fixture and am hoping that they will fit in there.

Hi sussane
I should be able to have an answer for you end of next week.
That is what we are told
As for size ,We have 2 different samples here ,one is a bit larger than the other ,but these are fully electronic ballasts & very low profile ,smaller than the other T5 ballasts that I have seen.
I will keep you posted as we know more.
Jason

Default profilux questions

Hi guys - great reading here - I'm going to be setting up my first salt water aquarium and trying to decide b/n aquatronica and profilux.

I have few questions on the profilux
1) which tunze powerheads are compatible? do I just by the powerhead? or do I need a separate interface/controller from tunze
2) will the profilux do wave programs itself with the tunze (i.e. replace wavemaker they have)?
3) I am thinking about a Sfiligoi soloset pendant with 150 w metal halide, 2 t5's and 2 moon lights - can I dim the t5's with the profilux?? or just turn them off and on
4) if I go with the lan card can I just hook it up to a wireless access point which then connects wirelessly to my wireless router? or do I have to go with their wireless card??
5) how do the led's connect to the profilux
6) how does the fan accessory connect to the profilux
7) if I went with the following setup what expansion would I have left - 2 float sensors (or optical), 1 ph, 1 salinity probe, 1 profilux fan setup, 1 red led, 1 of the special effets led, 1 lan port, 2 tunze pumps controlled separately (takes up 2 telephone jacks), 1 digital power bar, 1 analog power bar

thanks for the info

i can only answer a few of these questions but hopefully it helps


I have few questions on the profilux
1) which tunze powerheads are compatible? do I just by the powerhead? or do I need a separate interface/controller from tunze

you can use any of the powerheads. you can buy cables for the profilux that connect it to the tunze drivers. if you buy the deluxe model profilux it comes with 2 of the tuzne cables.

2) will the profilux do wave programs itself with the tunze (i.e. replace wavemaker they have)?

i should be getting my wavebox tomorrow and will see but i may just end up using the tunze controller since it comes with it anyway. the profilux does have the ability to control wave units. not 100% on how it works with the tunzes.

3) I am thinking about a Sfiligoi soloset pendant with 150 w metal halide, 2 t5's and 2 moon lights - can I dim the t5's with the profilux?? or just turn them off and on

you would have to contact sfiligoi to see if their ballasts are dimmable. the profilux will dim any lighting as long as the ballast are dimmable.

4) if I go with the lan card can I just hook it up to a wireless access point which then connects wirelessly to my wireless router? or do I have to go with their wireless card??

not sure on this one, i have the WLAN card so not sure about your idea, it sounds like it would work

5) how do the led's connect to the profilux

i believe they connect to the telephone ports in the back

6) how does the fan accessory connect to the profilux

it uses one of the 'L' outlets on the controller. you have to also have the fan controller in order to hook it to the profilux, it is cheap though. i have it but am waiting for a 'y' adapter to attach to the profilux. for now i have the fans on a timer to come on with the MH. but when it is connected properly fans act as variable speed fans the profilux will increase or decrease the fan speed depending on the temperature selected.

7) if I went with the following setup what expansion would I have left - 2 float sensors (or optical), 1 ph, 1 salinity probe, 1 profilux fan setup, 1 red led, 1 of the special effets led, 1 lan port, 2 tunze pumps controlled separately (takes up 2 telephone jacks), 1 digital power bar, 1 analog power bar

i'm not sure on this one, maybe jason from proline can help with this one.

hope this gives you some insight
