I bought this system about a year ago and am now finally at the point of hooking it all up to my reef (long project). I also purchased two of the high power lighting expansion bars (2 sockets per bar), one dimmable power bar and one 4 station dosing unit. My intention is to control the following via the Profilux controller and I have a few questions...
* 3x 250W MH's for main display - Via high power expansion bars
* 1x 4x24W T5 fixture for frag tank - Via high power expansion bar (switched together with MH's)
* 2x Advance Mark 10 dimmable ballasts each powering an 80W T5 - Via dimmable power bar
* Return Pump (Sequence Dart) - Via 6 way Digital Powerbar
* 2x Tunze Wavebox - Via 6 way Digital Powerbar
* Refugium Lighting (3x 36" VHO powered by Icecap 660) - Via 6 way Digital Powerbar
* 4 station dosing unit - Via 6 way Digital Powerbar
* Heater - Via 6 way Digital Powerbar
* Chiller or fan depending on season via 6 way Digital Powerbar
My questions are (and forgive me that I have not studied the manual in depth, although I did confuse myself sufficiently after an initial read)...
1.) I believe I may be short a few power sockets on the Digital Powerbar, if so what do you recommend I get to make it work?
2.) Do I have enough L and S ports to control all this? Leads to question #3
3.) Would you please advise how to connect all mentioned power/expansion bars & dosing unit(power cords and contol lines)? I have an idea, but not entirely sure if it's correct.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
