Hi there,
I am starting a reef tank and would love to use GHL Profilux along with ION director/dosing to monitor my parameters, but I am very nervous about the alleged difficulty of programming. I have no experience in programming or coding and am worried that it will be too complex for me to program.
Is there anywhere I can read a beginners guide or learn about the programming before buying?
Thanks!

To add to what Gaël posted, the Knowledge Base contains a wealth of information and guides to get you started. Within many of those guides, you will also find how-to videos to walk you through the process from A-Z. You'll probably be happy to hear that there is zero coding involved. We use drop-down boxes instead. ;)

Since you're considering the ProfiLux (4?), this guide would be your starting point:

There's a lot you can do with the controller so take your time with it and read up as much as you can so you get the best understanding of how the system works.
