I have a 72 gal tank and would like to add a couple of Tunze pumps to it.


Is this all I need?


(1) PLM-4L Expansion Card (I'm using L1-L4 for lights)

(1) Tunze 1 Cable & (1) Tunze 2 Cable (I'm assuming I need 1 of each type to control the pumps)

YL2-1 Splitter cable (So I only use up a port on the PLM-4L Card)

(2) Tunze NanoStream 6055 Pumps


Thank you

If you are not using L3L4 you can use this for the Tunzes, but if this is also being used you will need L5L6 (PLM-4L) or upgrade to the EX kit giving you much more functionality also

Using L1 & L2 for the Dimmable T-5's

and L3 & L4 for the Simu-L sticks

The 4 L ports are the best as I plan to add a fan controller unit at some point.

Yep you will need the PLM-4L or if budget allows go for the EX upgrade as it comes with this as standard along with a list of other features.

But as it stands now, yes you need L5-L6 I am just outlining some choices, which hope helps

Hi,
Guys, when you add the expansion PLM-4L, is the top slot L5/6 and the bottom slot L7/8 or is it the other way around. I just added the slot but lost the instruction manual. Thanks!!

Is it possible to add a PLM-4L to a Profilux Plus II EX unit?

I don't have a unit yet, but I'm thinking an EX (or Plus II and add the EX card).

I just wanted to know it it was still expandable, thanks for answering!
