GHL Profilux 4e Controller: Unboxing and Product Overview
Very nice tank! Are you still very happy with the quality? :)
Came here looking for how to adjust the angle of the fans. Video did not disappoint! Thank you 👏
What are the dimensions of this light? LxWxH?
How did you do the drains?
hi, do you have a video on how to set up/program the mitras lightbar slimline for sun up and sun down along with the lighting effect?
How do u like it after a year? About to do mine ?
Sorry for the late reply. I like it very much. No issues to report or leaks.
can i add a KH director to this profilux mini ?
Very good explanation
Hello, this was a very informative video!!.. does this work the same for a Profilux 3.1Ex, and do you need such a breakoutbox for each Kessil A80 individuali or can you combine 2 lights on 1 breakoutbox?
You would still need the Breakout Box as it will be connected to the 3.1Ex 1-10 Port. You use the same breakout box for both and use both channels. I have not tried to chain 2 of them together on the same port, but the Breakout box supports two channels so could easily use 1 channel for the 1 light and the second for the other.
@@KR-id6bl Thank you so much for the info. I'm going to try this
Thanks for sharing this. Did you get the Tideline sump? If so, how do you like it? Would you recommend? Thanks.
I did not get the Tideline Sump, I went with a Royal Exclusive Sump as I wanted the Roller to built into the Sump.
1 second ago Lifereef sump/system build schedule is full for the remainder of the year 2022. Taking pre-orders for sumps/systems for 2023, visit www.lifereef.com!
Nice lids, but I think you will find that center lid being solid will cause issues. Salt creep and water splashes will dry on it causing less light to penetrate it. It will become another piece that requires cleaning. Not the end of the world but can be an issue if you become lazy like me. lol good luck with your beautiful tank.
Assuming you had a Apex lol. I’m here cause mine just took a dump for the 3rd time in 3 years. Just bought this last night and paid overnight delivery. Great Video 👍
Yes, I used to be heavily invested in Neptune Systems but had a tank crash caused by the system that the techs at the time could not explain as the unit was running, but logs were not being produced, but it just felt like dosing everything into the tank at once. When it happened, I was across the county and could not do anything till taking a red-eye home, and the damage was done. That was almost five years ago, and I never looked back after the change. Since switching, I get my every 2-hour tank report via email and text messages of alarms. Most importantly, I have not had a unit crash, been away multiple times across the county, and never experienced an issue.
Hey, thanks so much for making this video. What IP address do you use to create the static IP? Is it the exact same IP address as your wifi network? Or do you modify the last part of it to create its own unique IP? Thanks in advance.
It would not be the exact IP of your Wifi Router, as your not allowed to duplicate an IP Address. So for example my IP router is 192.168.0.254 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0, I tell people to minus 10 from the IP of the router so 192.168.0.244, with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 with a default gateway of your router of 192.168.0.254 and with a DNS of 4.2.2.1.
@@KR-id6bl Very helpful! Thanks so much!
Hallo, Ich habe eine Mitras Lightbar mit profilux 3. Und ich kann keine Dokumentation für die Einstellungen finden. Ich habe die Kurve des Tages mit Verschiebung der Jahreszeiten erstellt. Ich hätte gerne den Mondzyklus, aber ich kann es nicht. Können Sie mir helfen, die Einstellungen in GHL vorzunehmen? Herzlich, Joel Bonjour, Je possède une Mitras Lightbar avec profilux 3. Et je ne trouve pas de documentation pour les réglages. J'ai créé la courbe du jour avec décalage des saisons. Je voudrais avoir le cycle lunaire, mais je n'arrive pas à le faire. Pouvez-vous m'aider à faire les réglages dans GHL ? Cordialement, Joël
Thanks for the video. Very useful. Is GHL planning on adding more feed pauses? I need more than four.
Rob, not that I am aware off, but you can also ask GHL support to confirm. How many more are you looking for?
Sub'd!! Thanks for the videos. Very helpful as the manual puts me to sleep. Does the temp probe need calibration?
Thanks for the comment. No, you do not need to calibrate it.
No it does not. It comes calibrated, mine been running 4 years now and no need to calibrate.
Thanks for the video! Just got my Profilux but the manual sure puts me to sleep. Sub'! Do you have to calibrate the temp probe? If so, got a video? So far, I am very impressed with GHL
No Need to Calibrate :)
Over priced $120
Hello. What about tube length from dosing head 12 cm and dosing head to ion 16 cm as per manual?
Are you asking does the tube length between the to units needs to be exact? When it comes to the unit being side by side or stack configuration you need to cut the dosing tube to the recommend length in inches or cm outline in the manual. But the water supply line and exit line length can be variable.
@@KR-id6bl Hello. I was refering to length of hose of dosing head that is 12 cm and length of hose from head to ion must be included (16cm if stavked) and length of tube to sump plus filter 7ml. Or I am wrong?
@@hrvojevrh2743 No you do not need to include the length between the unit in the final calculation. (sorry for the delayed response)
This was a very useful video and an easy "DIY" project. Thanks! It's nice to control my Kessil light with the P4 controller.
I do not have the controller and ordered both the KH and ION director. One with the SA doser and the other with a slave doser. Will this work or should I have order both with an SA doser?
Yes, as long as you have one SA(Stand Alone) and they are all on the latest firmware it should work
Giggle for V P.
Does this unit come with a power bar?
Yes the starter kit comes with a PowerBar, here the link to the information: (www.aquariumcomputer.com/usa/product/profilux-4e-starter-set-6e-black-usa-cnd/)
This video is fantastic! It is very detailed and explained well! I do believe that these types of videos are a great way to show the consumer the behind the scenes programming to help them make a choice when purchasing either product. Keep it up!
Thank you for the kind words.
Do you need a controller in addition to the Ion director and the dosing pump or can they stand alone?
No the ION Director with a Doser can be run independent of the controller.
One thing additional note: You can also see the actual draw of the outlet, if it is ON, by clicking on the Apex EB832 and looking at the outlet also.
When i try to search for the doser on the wifi it wont show.
Are you running 2.4 or 5Mhz dual band? Is the 2.4mhz and 5mhz the same SID and password?
@@KR-id6bl yup running the 2.4ghz it worked for a while but now im not able to connect again, kinda sucks specially for such an expensive doser.
@@marcelrodriguez2067 Are you sharing the 5mhz and 2.4 mhz with the same sid and password? And are you on the latest firmware on the doser?
@@KR-id6bl nah bro, and it was working perfectly fine for a couple of weeks until today. Im gonna take a vacation next week and this gets me anxious. Is it fine if i just leave it in hotspot mode and let my sister just connect there to control the dosage?
@@KR-id6bl btw yes i just updated the firmware today to see if that would work but even when i ping to see if the ip would work it just says "destination host unreachable". I couldn't tweak with it for too many hours since my tank is consuming alot of alk.
The fan is fine but I wish it mounted on all styles of tanks not just rimless!
Can you daisy chain a second power bar? Or add another power bar with that?
You can only have one Power bar.
How do you prevent the carbon from tumbling?
When I used Carbon in it I used Filter Floss inside the unit and pushed the top foam bad down and used the filter floss as a way to keep it from pushing back up.
i not find the wifi from the doser,i just buy it second hand,how to do?
Do you know if they defaulted the Doser when they gave it to you? it may have already had the hotspot turned off for you to configure. If this is the case, you would need to use the legacy Desktop Windows Application and connect to it via the USB port. Or contact support and ask if their another way to default the device.
1st of all great video in explaining the unit. I’m a novice when it comes to controllers for aquariums and very ok’d school lol. How better is this in comparison to apex and also in your opinion would this particular unit be not enough for a bigger system like (80g-180g) mixed reef aquarium? Thank you in advanced and I’m following along.
I ask people what are they looking to do with the controller? How many things are you going to want to control with the power strip? Do you need to monitor Salinity? Create a list and then look at the options. I am using this on a seahorse tank, a jellyfish tank and it works great. I can use the feed mode, control Kessil lights on the 1-10 volt ports, minimal flow control with the tunze pumps on the 1-10. And it works great but on my larger tanks my 125, 250 and soon 500 it is a the full blown GHL Profilux Controller.
@@KR-id6bl well noted thanks for your prompt response. Always good to know something prior to buying.
My biggest is a 200g and could only imagine how nice the bigger tanks you have and heading to. Lol. Happy reefing.
Can you add the bigger power bar to this unit if bought separately? What else can you add on to this model?
No, only the STDL4-4 Powerbar can be used.
Hi Ditto. Another question: does the ION D / Doser 2.1 SA require a PC for set up or firmware updates or is it possible to do everything on a mobile phone / myGHL?
You can configure and setup the entire unit from the GHL Connect App, firmware still require a computer for now.
@@KR-id6blDitto what type of tubing was used between the reference bottle and IOND? Also is it provided with the unit?
Hey Ditto, great to hear from you! Is there a minimum number of tests the ION D needs to make or can it simply be set to test for example once a week?
You can automatically setup a minimum of 1 to 24 test per day that will begin at specific time and then be spaced out equally based on the number of automatic tests you wish to do. For Example, if I said 2 automated test and set the time to be Noon the tests would happen every day at Noon and Midnight. I could not set it to do it only once per week as it is a once per day option. But you could set the automatic testing to 0 and manually click the start measurement now button inside the GHL connect App once a week without any problems to conduct the test. The unit is not required to test every day for it to work. Hope this answers your question.
@@KR-id6bl still waiting for mine its been sooooooooo long
Thanks Ditto
Great, finally it goes on. Fine video.
Grats bud
Thanks Kyle!!
@@KR-id6blI finally got my hands on an IonD!! Going to set it up on my next couple of days off.
Thank you for your enlightening film. One question: For what reason do you limit the upper limit of the control voltage for the light intensity (from 10V to 8.5V)? Is this an extra margin to save the lamp, or does this value match that of the original Kessil controller?
After talking to Kessil, and playing with the light I found adjusting the Voiltage to what was inside the video allowed for the illumination channel to match closer to the light output voltage.
Very informative, I definitely hit the sub button.
Thank you!!
To anyone who watches this in the future, don‘t unscrew the mounting feet! Once you unscew it, it wont retighten!
Seems like a nightmare
can you do this with a kessil 360x?
The Kessil 360x does not have a 1-10 Volt port on it. Therefore it can not be controlled this way. :(
Hello mate. Something strange happened earlier. My feed button was turned on and turned off all my configured items.... when looking at the feed button it was just flashing 15min but was not counting down. It just will not turn off now 😳 What can cause this and how to turn it off?
Are you running the latest GHL Version on your device? Do you have any program logic tied to the feed timer?
Hi thanks for the quick reply, your videos are a great help. The firmware version is 7.24 and no, no programmed logic in use..... last night I removed feed pause completely and still was flashing!
@@chrisbutton9115 I would open up a support ticket with GHL.
Do you still use your lifereef sump
This worked for a second then it stopped working. After countless hours I'm about to give up. I tried to restart the process and the ghl Is no longer in the wifi setting on my phone.
