    Default Feeder

    Read on ReefBuilders that GHL was coming out with an automated feeder.

    I am excited but sad that it looks like I will need to replace my version 3 controller.

    Does GHL intend to release its own Profilux-compatible feeder?

    If not, what would be currently the most recommended set-up with Profilux controlling an external third-party automatic feeder? I would like the idea for the two to work together... e.g. Profilux slowing down the pump to lower the water current, activate feeder and then after some time bring the pump back to full speed again... Any way this can be done with Profilux 4? What would you recommend as a good feeder to use like this?

    These feeders can be triggered using a switch port and any low voltage AC/DC adapter:

    I use this with a Profilux switch channel configured for Inverted | Filter 1.

    This will turn on the switch port whenever feed pause is activated. You can then assign feed pause 1 to a timer. If you have a stream group to control your pump, you can set it to react on feed pause 1 and will stay at minimum setting (or off) for the duration. It doesn't matter that the feeder is powered constantly for 5 minutes or so. It will only feed once, then needs to be turned off for several minutes before powering on the feeder will trigger again.

    Im hoping that GHL comes with a feeder it's been a long time and nothing has been mentioned for awhile so maybe no longer doing it.
