ProfiLux Mini Wi-Fi Controller

It’s a reality now. ProfiLux has miniaturized their aquarium controller to offer the most essential controls at a very affordable price. Is this a game changer? Probably not but it does give new aquarist an entry level option for a controller.

The New ProfiLux Mini Wi-Fi Controller is an awesome aquarium controller; yes a mini controller with a sales price in the 200s.

Lets face it, aquarist would rather spend their time admiring their tank instead of fussing with all the settings on an advance controller. We need it to be as easy as 1 2 3 and the ProfiLux Mini Wifi Controller delivers this.

This entry level controller does all that you’ll need.

What I like about this GHL controller is that its very slim and compact. 

This makes it easy to mount it in tight spaces.  The onboard screen is also a plus. 

I don’t understand why all other controllers make you buy a separate screen. All in all this is very a nice product for those looking at an entry level aquarium controller.
