Aquatronica Vs ProfiLux

[Jameshong]

Hi all,

Which one do you prefer if you are going to purchase aquarium computer?

Please vote and comments the Pro and Con of each computer.

Thanks.

aquatronica can be more user friendly.

profilux have got alot of more functions and things to played with:

1) itself is a tunze controller. but since u using vortex, might not be useful.

2) moonlight/dust/dawn/lightning LED strips. buy seperately

3) have got infrared sensor. and also external water level sensor. both for water top up. which is alot more safer.

4) their software are constantly being updated more frequently together with more gadgets release.

the above listed are just of the few. more you could read their online manual. which i believe you know where to get it since your signature picture is most likely taken from the website.

i believe others can chip in more. so far, im happy with my profilux

aquatronica any time. simple, easy to use, no complications. i am not really a gadget guy. i just need something that does the job.

only thing i like about profilux is that it can also control tunzes. other then that nothing much to shout about.

You may wish to go to reefcentral to find out more details.

I believe both will serve your general needs unless you have something more unique which is exclusive to either one. Reaons why i chose Profilux were because of its platform, stability, maintenance cost(parts) and support that i will be receiving. On the superiority, honestly, i think it will be rather bias for ppl to comment unless he or she own both and really give a neutral comment. Hope this aids your research.

if you are like large display screen and ease of use , aquatratronica maybe better.. And also if you plan to use Hydro wave maker, aquatronica will work better compare to tunze.

But i heard profilux is comming with the new model with better function and wireless display

Agreed with Solo77 that both computers serve the general purposes of maintaining a system.

There is no perfect system.

But I do notice profilux had a lower replacement parts cost. And the standard probes used is very much commercial standard rather then proprietary.

This will come in handy if you need an emergency probe change for whatever reason. just my 2cts.

I do wish someone brought in neptune controllers or aquacontrollers... more variety, especially for the more budget conscious reefer who would still like to invest in some technology toys.

just to add for larry's part, profilux also did came out their own hydor wavemaker module sometime ago too.

im a user for both computers before.

LaW mention most of the points that causes me to give up AQT and go for GHL. ofcos there are other reasons but they arent too important to be mentioned.

Thomaslim also mentioned about the price on replacement parts that is very impt. some add ons for these kind of aquarium computer does have its down side of breaking down or need to replace after long use.

if u compare both aqt advance and ghl professional, aqt is cheaper in anyway.

however i felt that ghl have lots of constant addons/upgrades/changes that worth invest since these aquarium pcs doesnt come cheaply.

point to note, since the aquarium computer controls most of your eqpt including timer, themostat and all.. important to check that when u need replacement or when accident happens that it cant function well where and who can support ur urgent needs.

have fun!

oh btw, for aqt i have no problem using the interface display to do changes. as for ghl, i really need a laptop with me.

bro thomas and law, if u guys still have the thunderstorm led. it will be good for us to view it in action.

Hi all,

Thanks for all the comments .

Besides serving basic functionality, I'm looking at scalability, reliability and total cost of ownership .

However till now, I still can't decide which to go for...Perhaps, I need more time to survey and read more to have better understanding on both products.

At the meantime, more feedbacks and comments are welcome .

from the criteria u mentioned, both have its strong point. e.g price wise aqt. reliability ghl, and so on.

btw bro,above is on my own opinion from my own experience.

I do agree that GHL price is slightly higher than Aqt but I rather pay slightly more for reliabilty to have peace of mind than headache in the long run lor .
