GHL Announces Profilux 4 Product Details

4d2cfdc5-14fa-4315-ab50-9259763e85d3 During our recent visit to MACNA San Diego, we had the opportunity to stop in on and catch up with Matthias Gross, owner and founder of GHL. Matthias showed us the new Profilux 4 Controller and spoke about why he believes that it is different and stands out from other aquarium controllers on the market.

With such a variety available to the Techies out there, he knew that the bar was high and he would have to come out with something great to make a dent in this competitive market. We understand that he has received a substantial amount of interest and attention since debuting the Profilux 4 at MACNA.

Read below to see what Matthias has to say about his latest product offering:

New Features

Switchable pH, Redox, and Conductivity Ports
Gone are the days of having to go out and buy an additional module just to add a second pH or Redox probe. With ProfiLux 4, you have the option to switch the behavior of specific probe ports. For example, you can switch a Redox port to read pH and vise versa. You can essentially have two pH or two Redox ports right out of the box! The Conductivity port can be set to read freshwater and saltwater ranges, perfect for pond and cichlid tanks.

Built-in WiFi
Connect the ProfiLux 4 to an exisiting WiFi network and benefit from not having to run a cable into your internet router. That’s quite the convenience!

Unmatched Expansion Options
Like the ProfiLux 3, the new ProfiLux 4 includes a large selection of expansion options. Best of all, when you need to add an expansion card, simply add it to one of the available 2 expansion slots found inside the ProfiLux 4. No need to buy modules for this and that, just pop the card in and you’re good to go!Between Expansion cards and Expansion Boxes, you can expand the ProfiLux to nearly no limit!
