Hydros and my equipment list ....

[Dezbian]

So, my list of equipment is as follows (mind you these are tentative purchases and I have not bought anything yet)
Tunze 6055 powerhead
Tunze osmolator ATO
Inkbird temp controller and heater
Kessil A360x lights
Hydros 4 controller
Hydros leak and water level sensors

Now all of this stuff has controllers so I want a way to manage all the wires so I can't see them/ they don't take away from the tank's aesthetic. I also wanna use something as a mother board so I can easily access all the different controllers

I think my biggest question is how do I integrate all this into the Hydros system? I know I won't have full control of everything through Hydros, but I can still use all this stuff with the control board, correct? Also, I'm new and not tech savvy so please explain in simple terms for me, I'm learning.

Here is a link to the pumps that are compatible with Hydros https://www.coralvuehydros.com/is-my-pump-compatible/ . Only the 0-10v pumps can be controlled with the X4 with the right cable adapters. You can always power them on or off with the Hydros. The Kessil's would have to have a 0-10v input for control for the Hydros to control them. I could not find anything one way or the other on them. You can alway power them on and off but I am not sure how the lights would take being powered on and off since they have a controller. On that ATO the only thing you can do is power it on and off with the Hydros. Hydros has a built in ATO control though so it would not be needed. As far a the heater control you can turn that off as a backup with thr Hydros if temp gets too high. The XP8 outlets have a 8 amp maximum per outlet total 14 amp for all 8 outlets. The wifi strip has a total 10 amp rating but I didn't see what the single output rating was. You didn't mention what size your heaters were going to be.
