Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[SuperFudge]

hello Ginzo,

"I'm just a little confused by all the options on it. Can you explain to me how the dimming lights work ? For example, currently I have two Giesemann Nova II lamps (150 watts HQI) with electronic balast. Will I be able to dimm those lights ? If yes, what is required ?"

Unfortunatly you wont be able to dim these.

"Also, I'm looking at purchasing 2 Sunlight Supply 36" Ready Fit T5 Retrofit Fixtures (2-bulb, 2x39W). It comes completely assembled with TEK Reflectors and a 8' power cord. Features a major brand ballast. My question is, will I be able to dimm those T5 Fixtures with the Profilux II controller, if yes do I have to purchase an extra ballast..or anything else ? "

I would reccomend a call to the manufacturer, if the t-5 ballast is dimmable, then it shouldnt be a problem.
You would need a card for the profilux to accomplish this.

"Also, I'm either looking at dosing a two part additif or running a calcium reactor (most likely the Deltec PF501). What would you suggest to use with the Profilux controller ?"

It really is up to you here, it is capable of running dosers, feed pumps or any comination of them....
I would reccomend a couple of continuous duty dosers. You can also run the ca+ reactor with the doser for a super accurate and consistant effluent rate.

Marc.
