ProfiLux and monitoring Alkalinity and other things ...

[Dumaurier7]

Matthias,

I was wondering to gain monitoring control for Alk/Ca for the Profilux 3, I assume all that will be needed is a firmware upgrade and purchasing the corresponding expansion card correct? or do you have a small expansion box/module planned. Thanks! Ryan

Hi all was wondering about this too , I'm thinking about getting an expansion box with a couple cards , so I'd like to know if and how many slots I should leave open for the Alk/Ca ?

Awsome ! Love my ghl , .. alk and ca would be great ..

Marco, Vinny ? Anyone?

I doubt anyone from the GHL team can speak any further until an official announcement... Prototypes are not in the limelight as they used to be.

Yup ! its a lession I learned from building and racing cars , get THE BEST your money could buy now , because eventually you will be forced to when the cheaper inferior stuff breaks!!
THANKS GHL for being an option !!

I am planning on getting an Apex in a few months after I get my tank up and running. Since I've decided on a GHL doser I am kind of hoping this CA/Alk is for real. On there statement that "did not feel it would excite people is definately a Lie". CA and ALK are the 2 most important parameters that reefers hate to monitors and if we automate this its a game-changer. Therefore, I'll believe it when I see it.

KH Director thread on the GHL forum Matthias said P4 issues are "highest priority at the moment is P4"
Don't expect much to MACNA.

It looks like they decided against calcium monitoring, which was mentioned in the original posts about this. Not a big deal but I'm curious why that changed.

I'm not aware of anything that would suggests Calcium is no longer in preparation.

I probably misinterpreted the original post to mean it would be in one product.

I think is is more of a cost thing really. The KH testing unit is a separate piece of equipment. Requiring a set of dosing pumps. Adding calcium and mag would require more complex software to switch between reagent containers. An is thought not to be as greatly needed Alk testing.

Seems reasonable.
