Profilux Aquarium Automation

Been busy with the Profilux controller:

  • Measuring temperature and controlling the chiller and heater, high / low alarm
  • Measuring pH, high / low alarm
  • Measuring salinity, high / low alarm
  • Independent control of the lights; front, mid, back and moon LED's
  • Lights are turned off when temperature becomes too high
  • Filters are turned off during a feeding pause
  • Maintenance modes for cleaning filters, water changes, etc.
  • Reminder texts like filter media change
  • Graphs of temperature, pH and salinity
  • Control of all equipment via telephone and website
  • Alarm emails
I'm thinking about adding the EcoTech Marine VorTech MP40's to create a variable flow in the tank. Two level sensors to do an automatic water change. Automatic dosing of Ca, Mg and Alk. I'll do some research to see if I can make the lights dimmable.
