    Hydros is a piece of junk.

    Hehe. Maybe I didn't make it clear-- there is no issue to be solved here unless you plan explain the concept of a QA team to CoralVue. :p Despite your claim, you seem a bit upset that I have expressed a negative opinion about a product you care about. The title of this thread was a bit...

    Hydros is a piece of junk.

    In the interest of accuracy, I should point out the kalk dosing schedule turned out to be working as intended. I found out soon after my initial post that my kalk reactor was simply overflowing onto the floor since the water level in the sump was so high that the gravity drain couldn't work...

    Hydros is a piece of junk.

    First post here? You do realize I've been a member here longer than you? LOL. The purpose of this post is to inform other potential Hydros buyers of my experience, so they can make an informed decision. Also, to let other Hydros owner know that ime, you need to be very careful updating this...

    Hydros is a piece of junk.

    Unfortunately, my experience with the Hydros controller has been a terrible one. I won't go into the details of my previous troubles and instead focus on the latest update fiasco (there have been others). The most recent update has nearly crashed my tank multiple times! I should mention, I have...

    Anyone ever tried changing the email on their account?

    I need to change the email on the account associated with my hydros. Does anyone know of a painless way to do this? As far as I can tell, I need to create a new account and transfer the devices over (hopefully by copying the existing config). But even this is more work than necessary since the...

    Four Corners Flow Pattern

    The Vortechs are limited to three channels, so I don't think you can use the four corner pattern. I have run the four corner pattern with the Pulse 4s; works as expected. They're great pumps especially when paired with the wave engine.

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    No reason to have the collective until the wave engine is supported. Though, you should consider disabling it if it's not stable. I'm on firmware 178 and experiencing these issues. It was made a collective of 1 before the firmware update. Unfortunately, I never made a local backup of just the...

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    Forgot to mention- I get timeout error when selecting delete device on either of the two collectives (I think that how they're suppose to be deleted).

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    Unfortunately, the only backups are from long ago- maybe because it was part of the collective. Seems collectives in general aren't working too well for me. I tried adding the control 4 back to the existing collective and to a new collective with no success. On its own, it seems fine after the...

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    Just gonna do a factory reset. I'm wasting too much time with this thing.

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    Well, too late for that. I deleted the control 4 from the cloud and readded it. Now, it's separate but I still have a empty collective with no clear way to remove it. I can now connect to the control 4 but it's still pretty janky. The inputs are there, but the history is gone. Two of the wifi...

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    Also, my control 4 is part of a collective of 1 because originally I thought wave engine could be part of it. How can I remove the collective and revert the control 4 back to a single device?

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    The wave engine has blue leds with a green and white racing pattern. I was able to get it back up by connecting it to my main network, then switch it back to the 2.4ghz network. No such luck with the control 4. It's pulsing green, but occasionally it'll blink red a couple times.

    Trouble problems with control 4 & wave engine

    I've had my control 4 and wave engine up and running trouble free for a few months now. Unfortunately, it seems my luck has run out. Issue 1: I noticed yesterday that my temperature dropped way more than normally overnight. At some investigation, it turned out the wifi plug strip that controls...
