So I was was reading through another thread about Apex vs. ProfiLux... decisions, decisions. I got to tell ya, after looking through all the profilux products, i think I'm sold on it. I really like the looks of the hardware, especially the lighting! The Mitra LX7206's look like they have some extreme power and a lot of functionality. Exactly what I am looking for to punch down through 36" of tank depth. Plus I really wanted to use the eco-tech Vectra pumps and they have the controller interface to work with them as well. Not saying anything bad about Apex stuff but I feel the GHL products will better support my needs. Lol! I really need to decide on gear because I am coming to a point where once I build the display tank it will be time to start ordering gear. I know it is a lot of money to shell out over time. Now it is back to the drawing board again. Filtration equipment will still be the same but control, lighting, dosing, and possibly top off and water changing design may end up differently now.
