GHL Profilux VS Presteltic pumps

[Allmost]

Hello all,

recently started doing the balling method for providing CA, MG and KH,

wanting to automize it.

which one of the above would you advice ?

3 paresteltic pumps connected to a RKL controller ? ($130 per pump and I have the RKL)


or a GHL Profilux 3 pump stand alone ($600)

if the GHL, why ? lol

Im going to pick one up today and need some reasons to justify paying 600 (200 more) for a GHL lol

anyone using these units ?

I went with the Profilux recently. I just thought it was a little better quality. I also didn't want to run it through my controller either.

I only paid $430 for my 3 pump stand alone. I did get it through a group buy but without it i think it was about $480 or so. I got mine through Progressive Reef in Canada.
I think they have free shipping within Canada as well.

I like mine but i haven't tried any other ones before..

oh nice., I will check that out ! lol,. stores in toronto are selling it for 600 and above !

so how good would you say it is ? you think I can leave it for a month and be sure it will dose the same amount ? how easy is it to get started ? with paresteltic pumps you need to measure the output, calibrate it, program it and ... . which all can change :S

I really like it. It didn't take long to set up at all. I took my time too. I did calibrate the pumps but they actually were all calibrated right from the factory. It really is as simple as they come. I have adjusted my dosing a few times to get the amount with no problems. I just thought it being all in one was so much easier than using a controller.

I was more leaning toward this or the litermeter myself. I went with this one because i wanted the 3 pumps. the litermeter got pretty expensive when you added it all up

The profilux is a lot cleaner looking compaired to all the seperate pumps as well. I did need to put a shelf in my stand for it to go on though.

If you call Progressive reef, i worked with Garthe. He was a really nice guy.
