HYDROS Aquarium Controller - MACNA'19

[doodledreads]

Saw this new controller at the CoralVue booth at MACNA and wanted to see if anyone else excited about it. It comes in two versions and seem to be quite affordable compared to current controllers on the market. It also seem to use smart plugs to control outlets which is nice. The smaller version was around 200 and comes with pH and temp controller, the bigger version was 400. Was told it was set to release in Q1 2020

Anyway, I hope to give it a try along with the HYDROS waveengine for my next tank

I liked all the lights and how "easier" it is supposed to be. Kinda looked like a custom computer build with LED and all lol

I do think it is quite bulky, but it's good to see other options coming out finally!

I also found it very interesting and definitely see the potential. I like the concept of what @CoralVue is doing with this product!

Right? As a Software Engineer, I like when products are designed to be inter-operable and easily adaptable.

The smaller version was around 300? and comes with pH and temp controller, the bigger version was 500? Was told it was set to release in Q1 2020

Aww, they pushed it back? I talked to them a few months ago when they first showed them somewhere, and they said September.

The controller is Q1 2020, the Wave Engine is end of the month.

Oh, they're making a controller too... I missed that. Do you have a link?

What all does the wave engine do?

 

[Kyl]

Third party controller with the ability to direct interface with gyres and a few other pumps, notably driving four pump outlets on a single power brick. Phone app control, can also input or output 0-10v, talk to vortechs, including the vectra.

I watched the video. One thing I really liked was the Rope style leak detector... brilliant.

+1, super innovative

I work in the data center industry and the facilities I'm involved in utilize rope leak detection.

Good to see someone incorporating it into an aquarium controller.

yes I am excited for this. Hopefully it's worth the wait. for a small nano tank I think this will be perfect depending on the expand ability could be just what I am looking for if I dont want to run wires across the living room to link 2 tanks to 1 apex.

wounder when they will start to have more info on it?

Wow, wave engine will be a must for me. I hate my maxspect controller.

The display set up for Wave engine at Macna was really cool, it actually looked like a ocean surface with occasional swirls. Bet the SPS would love that.

It looks cool, but I’m curious to see more about the user interface and programming examples. I’m very fluent in Apex programming, but I know it has many limitations, so I’ll be interested to see if this is more flexible.
