Honestly if you like a reliable product this is it! If you ever need help setting it up let me know! I pray for the Ion director to be good. But based on their record I am pretty confident it will be! Yes there stuff isn’t the cheapest, but I also can’t complain since it works so well!

Cheaper isn’t always the main consideration and at the same time, if I spend more I want value for the extra - like most ppl! 😂😂 Thank you for the offer, I will definitely need help I suspect. 😬

@@Reefgrrl They have lots of their own KZfaq videos as well. I think they've gotten much better over the years in terms of making it more user friendly after more community feedback! Let me know!

Happy new year! I have not yet used the Mitras but I’ve heard good things! I’d love to make the switch at some point. I currently have the AI hydras 26s and 52s. And no I haven’t used the therapy program. But the function is that when connected to your heaters and cooling systems it lowers your temperature gradually which is required for certain fish treatments. Probably not something you’d use in an active reef tank when you have corals. Maybe more so for QT systems?

Drama D thank you! Cable management is a hobby in its own hah

Reef Dork thanks man! Appreciate the view

William Cheung Lau hey there. It all depends on what you are looking to do

Charlie Stabler I just picked up the kH director and will be doing a video on that. In terms of setting up the Profilux, I already have a video of that. I may do a video on the dosers. Once they are setup though, I think the interface for the dosers is really nice. Go ahead and subscribe and keep messaging me for content. I definitely take comments into consideration. I make these videos in my free time, and can only create so many videos : D

By setup I don't mean the configuration. I'm interested in how your system operates. For example; at such and such time the controller tells the stirrers to turn on and and such and such time the controler switches the pumps connected to the power bar and then at such and such time the dosing pump doses this element. I wanna know the mechanics of how your system operates and how everything is connected to each other.

Gotcha. Yeah definitely. I’ll try to do one of those. The nice thing about the stirrers is that when you dose. The stirrers can be set to automatically start stirring 60s before they dose. It’s called lead time. Anyways. Yes should totally do a video on the system in general!

Ya I've watched all of your videos and every GHL video I can find. Unfortunately they are all on how to connect/ setup via the app or web. None on physical connections and planning a system and the functionality or what you can do and how to make it do those things. I was between the GHL and Neptune and it seems that both lack that knowledge.

Charlie Stabler No for sure, you bring up an excellent point. I’ll could do just a full system overview of what I have. Thanks for the suggestion! Appreciate the views : D

I honestly cannot speak to the Apex line. I’ve heard both good and bad things. As for GHL, I am very happy with the product and will set it up again if I get another system.

Bill Uransel I started off with GHL dosers and fell in love with the more technical looking interface. I can’t speak much for Apex, but I have nothing but good things to say about GHL. My system is very organized right now. And it’s mostly due to the GHL system.

HobbySci looks like a very clean setup. How is it going with the Triton setup? Any issues with resupplies? Love the entire setup.

I no longer use triton method. I use triton other methods now. No refugium. I like it better

HobbySci triton other methods? Can you expound?

Bill Uransel google it. It’s basically a different regimen that triton makes, but it does not require a refugium.

Seveke's Reef Belgium you can do whatever you want. I personally like LED. As for the gyre pumps, those are definitely good options.

HobbySci sow i can connect my ati t5 ,led and my gyre to the profilux ghl and controlling with the profilux ?Correct?

Seveke's Reef Belgium I’m not to familiar with those but yes you should be able to. Is the ATI one just power on and off?

HobbySci No there is a timer in the Ati Sunpower and dimmable . My led light is on and of an also dimmable . If i connect my led for example can the Ghl dim my leds ?

Seveke's Reef Belgium do they have 0-10v inputs? The question is not just if the GHL is compatible, but rather do those equipment allow for third party control?

Alfredo Reis Deus I can agree with that. At the end I mention that one of the potential downsides are sooo many functions features. And that it could be overwhelming. But you could just get the Profilux mini or e editions which have more of just the essentials. If you’re willing to spend the money for the P4 tough, it’s unlikely that you run into a condition where you can’t do something which is nice. Personally I love exploring the capability of the system. Lately there’s been a series of updates to the UI and graphing capabilities which makes the overall experience even better. My opinion of course. Are you currently using the apex?

@@HobbySci No, after being on the fence for a few years, I decided to use a Seneye to monitor temperature, pH, water level and ammonia (around 250 eur for the pack with the webserver). I am running a calcium reactor, dosing kalkwasser and I use dosers for Red Sea Colors, strontium and potassium nitrate. I am planning to get a Xepta autobalance to monitor KH and fine tune it. Would I exchange the Seneye for a GHL solution? Yes, but I can't justify paying 8 times the cost of the Seneye.

@@LightSearch I don't think it's 8x more but I definitely understand that cost is a huge factor. To be fair if you just want the P4 for monitoring you can get less expensive options. The Mega set offers power bars as well so it's more of an overall controller. If you ever do have the money to spare, I do recommend it though. I am very happy with mine. Do you upload any videos of your tank?

Nevermind! Saw your channel. Lots of content. I subbed. Will be checking it out!

@@HobbySci I remember adding the cost of the Profilux Mega Set, Kh Director, Ion Director and the module to enable sms alerts and it would cost around 3K. But you're right, I should remove the Ion and KH Directors. But it won't be less then 1.500. I paid 2000 for my custom 200 gallon tank, cabinet and sump. I don't think I would be happy with just the mega set and the sms module. To really appreciate the system, I would need to get the KH and Ion Directors and a few other extras. In the end, I just couldn't justify not getting the Seneye for just 250 eur. It also includes a very accurate par meter. About my channel, don't pay attention to the high number of subs. For some weird reason youtube decided to promote one of my videos of an anemone in India, so 80-90% of my subs are prople from India who don't have any interest in fish or corals.

I agree. Could always use more info. There’s just so much you can do though. As for the apex conversation I don’t own one, and so it may be hard for me to have a good opinion on it.. Having multiple systems is just not something I can afford atm :/

@@HobbySci Apex is over priced and forces you to stay with Apex if you want the Trident. If you want the Trident to dose, you have to buy the dos, which is a two head, $300 doser and is pretty crappy quality. Apex is more concerned with milking customers than doing what customers want. Hopefully, GHL and Hydros push the Apex into actually listening to customers and stop milking everything.

Sam Bow Most of The fish are nearing 2 years? The coral are anywhere from 3 to 1 years? Anything specific you wanted to know about?

HobbySci yes was just curious on what growth rate have you noticed in the corals? Double per year?

Sam Bow it really varies on the type of coral. Some corals can take a year to double. Other will double in a month or two under the right conditions

Vitaly Dreval GHL Dosers 2.1 love them

HobbySci Thank you. Can you tell me where you bought your dosage containers & how big are they.

Vitaly Dreval I got them on Amazon. And they are 1.5L

HobbySci thank you

jack lee USA

Are you a technically savvy person? If so I recommend GHL?

But if you’re looking for plug and play it’s likely not for you

Emmanuel Perez actually yeah... I’m about to post an update video.. I’ve been trapped in China due to the virus outbreak. I am finally back. But an unintended month away from the tank was not good

@@HobbySci happy everything sounds good with you. Excited to see the new content. I'm so fascinated with the GHL line since alot of people are not supportive of the platform and you have the whole ecosystem. I'm really want to know the pros and cons as I see that they are a quality product

I am actually adding a kH director to the system soon.

Awesome

David Thai working on it!
