Truly Automated Water Testing - The Holy Grail of the Reefkeeping

My first aquarium controller, the GHL ProfiLux 4, I have so many plans for this controller but this is my first look at it.

I’m so glad that you use and test products and don’t release a review on them unless you absolutely love them and use them yourself. There are so many Reefers that make videos on products that they don’t actually use just for the purpose of being sponsored or paid by the company. I truly appreciate what you do and all your hard work. Your personal success is for a good reason. Thanks and keep up the great work 👍🏻

I love that companies are supporting you with the coral farm, lets get that coral farm room built already :D

[@rubenhage3273]

Been waiting for an upload for months 👌

[@tashdog1]

We need Ryan to do one of his 1000 litre aquarium with his powder blue tang, to make his channel even better.

[@rubenhage3273]

Reptile lover he sold his tank I believe so he could afford to setup his coral farm

[@chaostactics]

Accurate and high resolution testing of Cal, Alk, Mg, Nitrates, and Phos. That's the holy grail of automated water testing and it's just not happening yet.

[@nealpamella1919]

You always do the best unboxing videos

[@ladyreef3844]

I didn't even know this was possible until now. wow!

[@stevedodd7883]

its about time we had a coral farm like you see in the states, hope you do well

[@garethbrewer595]

Brilliant video - can't wait for the 6 month review. With the Neptune Apex only having the old 6 socket energy bar in the UK (yet we pay 35% more than in the US) & it would be a great if the GHL is an adequate replacement. If you want to know anything about Ozone speak to Dom - the co-owner of Kraken Coral as he swears by it. He's a really nice guy, knows his stuff and would be happy to help.

[@Reefnow]

Thnx man

[@malakbelial7562]

Just added it to my wish list

🙏🙏🙏

[@johngalactus4014]

My motto: "Anything repetitive, can be automated." ...but easier said than done! 😁 I used to have an 'automated water change system' of just having a pump in the DT with the tubing pointed out into drain outside. Another pump in saltwater mix with the tubing pointed into the DT. One switch to 'drain water' and another to 'fill water'. Done. That's the most obvious "automated" function I say... which still requires input from the hobbyist. I used to do this on my 30 gallon, but with my 250 gallon, I do it manually.

[@jontyhackforth6963]

He’s backkkkkk

[@volteface69]

Merci pour ta vidéo !!! 👍👍👍

[@davechippendale5668]

I will be going GHL when I set up my tank, pity the Ion Director will not be available until the Autumn. Look forward to a 6 month review.

[@tashdog1]

It's 100mg per 1000,litres an hour of ozone, and a control will turn it off when the level is reached. But I've not noticed any difference in a skimmers performance when connected. Water ozonator YL-A_ _ _N is the best unit I recommend to buy.

[@funtimewoo5836]

Me too. That company is awesome. Today I got a spotted mandarin goby. She is awesome. She even eats frozen shrimp. Her name is Gucci

[@Reefgrrl]

I’m so glad I finally took a break from excavating drawers to watch this video! (Purging and packing for the house move.) I’ve been really against the idea of a controller for much the same reasons as you in terms of fear of complexity, but I have a further reason - I don’t trust that things with only a wireless interface are going to be accessible when I need them. I’ve been following telegraham and a few other very respected youtubers, who use GHL controllers and dosera, and I’m becoming mighty tempted. But I still can’t get beyond the fact there’s no manual interface. No buttons to push or dials to twiddle, in case my wifi/Bluetooth is not cooperating. Have you encountered any issues accessing the app on your phone? 🤔 I’m so very reluctant to spend a lot of money on this system, only to find I’m unable to work with it reliably....🤷‍♀️

[@korikamon8628]

I need these on my tank!

[@Macca_75]

Love GHL and their products however at the moment a Profilix only supports 1 KH Director (so you can only monitor/control 1 tank). Who knows what the future holds.

[@mikeywikeybikey]

I recently installed the profilux 4 and KH director on my tank. The hardware is excellent but the install was difficult. The software is not intuitive. I’m hoping the interface improves over time. I am very happy with the product though.

[@artursm15]

So its been a while you have this setup any updates and monthly costs to run full ghl set and is it really worth it ?!

[@roksanapavao8632]

It looks like GHL are giving Neptune a run for their money

[@retropuffer2986]

Now that you can safeguard yourself from ozone overdoses it might make ozone more appealing. I heard Ozone can breakdown poisons which might be good for people who keep things like boxfish or other toxic creatures.

[@jeong-hoconrado9774]

You won't be disappointed when you get the KH director

[@joeymerrell8585]

I’ve used gel for years. Extremely reliable stuff

[@reefkeeper503]

I was considering an Apex but I don't like that they don't treat UK reefers the same as US reefers

[@braddickson6485]

Is there an update on the ion director release date? I was about to by an Apex but I've just seen ion director doesn't need reagents

[@pabloven8144]

Sign me up where can I get the ion director?

[@gabesreef]

Damn, you made me look into it lol

[@2pleez122474]

Gabes Reef Tampa ....Sorry you don’t have 2pleez money though 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gabesreef]

@@2pleez122474 🤣

[@davisju1]

Love all my GHL profilux stuff just added the KHD over the weekend easy to setup and works great 👍

[@neilsreefaquarium9530]

I want one of these now 😀. What’s the damage on one Ryan? 😬

[@jacbuc1]

Any idea how to fight diatoms? For some reason ive had a bloom out of nowhere

[@annareef1539]

Im like you and kept away from aquarium controllers because I was worried they were complicated

[@konstantinpersephone1339]

I love mine

[@1MartinWaite]

Why is your pH going up and down so much mine is no way near that movement?

[@fishydave3108]

I had the same IP address issue, other than that it was simple

[@tomg5405]

The more important parameter is phosphate and he not does..

[@OSSOYT]

4:50 put a trigger warning next time
