Hi GoLov! I read that 15 page thread you suggested on controllers, it was very informative for the most part.
What it did do for me was to peak my interests in the GHL Profilux P4 controller a lot!! I was only considering the Neptune Apex/Fusion before I read this thread and you making me aware of this German product is great. Thank you!
I am very impressed with the quality used for their internal hardware components and the over all build quality of the whole product and it's components! Very professional and solid, it's looks and industrial like build and historical reliability as a controller make it very attractive to me, I like professionally built equipment in any of my pursuits!!
GoLov are there forums for the GHL Profilux controller where I can learn more about it?
Another question I have to ask is it very difficult to learn how to run and program it? If a new user who is not so tech savvy but not stupid learn how to use this controller? If you have to be a genius IT guy to use this I would be very disappointed and it's user base it seems to me would be extremely limited in the marine aquarium controller market.
The more I looked at and read about the Apex building components and reliability issues the less I was impressed with it, I am attracted to it's ease of use as far as it's UI simplicity and programmability but it looks like it's made like a cheap plastic kids toy not a quality electronic component, that part turns me right off! The wiring of all the modules and accessories you need for it seems extreme and frankly could become a pain in the butt IMO!
So if you could find the time to steer me in the needed direction of information and function on the GHL Profilux 4 and it's usability, forums, support network and any information I can get my hands on it would be greatly appreciated GoLov!!
Thanks!
