I will be setting up the auto water change this weekend and want to know how to program the profilux the way I want it to do the waterchange.
The sump is feeding 3 tanks a 30, 65, & 90 at the moment... a 180 will be replacing the 90 within the next month or so, and the 65 will be a bangaii cardinal breeding tank.
sensor 1 and 2 will be the high/low level in the sump for the auto water change.
sensor 3 will be used as a low level to check that there is enough water in my 125g bin that will hold the new water.
Is it possible to program the profilux to do this?
1. check sensor 3 to make sure there is enough water in the bin to do the water change. if not then alarm and stop program.
2. turn off return pumps[S2], both skimmers[S3], and heaters[S4]
3. drain skimmer section (~20g) of my sump [S6]
4. fill sump [S5]
5. turn on S2, S3, S4.
I think that 20g every 2 days on a 400g (180+65+30+60sump+60refug) water column should be ok. or is it too much?
I purchased the PL-ADIN to control another pair of level sensors (sensor 4&5, high&low level) to do auto water change in my breeder tank once the fish room is set up in a couple of weeks. I will be upgrading the firmware on the profilux to 4.07 tonight. When my fish room is set up, the 65 will be a breeding tank. When they mate, I will be turning the return pump from the main system off, that way the fry don't go down the drain and the excess nitrates from overfeeding and stocking wont affect the main system. I will use a mj1200[S11] to pump the water out of the bottom corner of the tank for the auto water change. [S12] will be the fill pump. i think that 10g daily would be good
How would I go about programing the profilux to do the second auto waterchange?
Thanks.
