Hey Guys so I work in the utility industry and as you can imagine during the winter months everything falls apart quick and Im at work for 1 to 2 months straight. So I have to call my wife to deal with everything. So Im on a mission to automate pretty much everything and Im using Hydros to do...
Recently noticed an update that significantly improves charting on Hydros controllers. To me I much prefer the interface over Apex at this point. Anybody else notice the update?
Hello reefers, my daughter and grandchildren really enjoy my tank while visiting. They've decided they want to start a tank of their own. We started out considering smaller cubes with a simple hang on back skimmer and basic marine light. My son-in-law chimed in he had always wanted a...
Intro:
I've been away from reefing for a decade. With the fast pace of life, I have missed the patience and focus that this hobby required for success. I'm excited to get connected back into it. I have never done a build thread, but felt it would be a good practice to record the activity for...
So I have this dilemma where I really want a hydros for the cheaper accessories that’s seem to last longer(I have heard so many bad reviews of things I wanted like the apex auto feeder and ato), but I don’t want to seell off all my apex gear. Is it too ridiculous to run two controllers on my...

Anyone know how to connect or use the Hydros Smart Plug? The instructions came with an app called “Smart Life.” I unfortunately couldn't get it connected. I also checked Hydros webpge and found instructions for setup. It wanted me to connect to Hydros app instead. Even Hydros app wasn’t working...
For anyone that has hydros, is it possible to create a schedule where at a set time each day, an output is turned off? I have an auto feeder set for 2 times each day, but I can't figure out how to have it turn off the outlets for the return pump and wavemaker plugged into my wi-fi power strip.
The collection of most items is complete, now, it’s time to get to work. I’ve vowed to be as patient as I can and to think through every decision I make. After many years and many tanks, it’s time to do it right from the start. Can’t wait!
Aiming for a mixed reef system. I’ll update as I...
I'm searching for a cooling fan that can be used/controlled through the Hydros Control 4 Drive Port, but haven't been able to find any online.
Can anyone recommend any?
Hello everyone I need some help deciding on a reef aquarium controller/monitor.
I am stuck between the Apex, GHL, and hydros. I love the apex but it’s not really a college friendly price and I want to minimize wires so the EL doesn’t really interest me. That’s brings me to the hydros which is...
Good morning everyone,
So, I got my new hydros XP8 this week and tried to set it up yesterday. I ran into some issues. From what other have posted all of the LED indicators are suppose to be on but only two are on, on mine (see photo). I can connect to it thru the app but I can't see or...
I'm starting this build thread a little early. I am moving apartments in late March and am using that opportunity to transfer my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 contents to the new lagoon layout. It fit's my desired look far better, allowing for mangroves and more horizontal space for macro algaes...

I have an 8 foot long 310 gallon aquarium with an IceCap 48XL sump. I bought two eheim jager heaters for it (300w & 250w). I’m placing the 250w either in the skimmer or the refugium section of the sump and was thinking to put the 300w inside the overflow box to keep a clean look inside of the...

Well after 7 years of having a 29 gallon and 75 gallon and being in my new home for the last 5 years, I’ve decided to put the finishing touch on my man cave and add a 310 gallon Planet Aquarium reef ready tank in it. I started...
CoralVue dropped info tonight on their livestream about the next Coralvue Hydros Control release. The much anticipated Control XP8.
Some notable features:
- can run stand alone, has same controller internally as other Control devices
- internal meanwell power supply that can power other hydros...
I have been looking at controllers and don’t want to make the wrong choice!
Which is the best option for a nano tank 30gals.
Between Apex and hydros 4?
I recently tried to move my Hydros Control 2 to a collective. That resulted in the controller becoming unresponsive over the cloud. It was pulsing every color and beeping about once a minute. I then attempted the following steps to fix that.
- Deleted the collective and the device
- Reset up...
I travel a decent amount and am probably away a minimum of 10% each year on vacations or visiting family for extended weekends. I am very interested in a controller for peace of mind while I’m away.
I am currently setting up a 25 gallon AIO.
Heres what I’m thinking:
- Temperature sensor...
Hello All-
I have been looking around to see what DC / controllable pump options there might be out there for a 32G Biocube. So far I have found a few, but the issue with them is that none of them appear to be compatible with the controller I want to use (Hydros). Ideally I want to control with...
Started a new tank this winter, wish I found this forum prior to starting for more ideas but any opinions or suggestions welcomed.

Stand assembled and placed next to my current nano tank.
