    Ecotech VorTech Battery Backup w/ Kraken

    - I am going to pre-face this, I have not actually tested this but in theory this will work - All VorTech pump controllers have a secondary port on the controller for the Ecotech Battery solution. This port usually gets 12V supplied to it from the ETM Battery Pack and when prime power dies...

    Can Hydros control Kessil a500x yet?

    Looks like this device would do 0-10V directly to Klink. But my guess this is a commercial only special order device.

    CAN Bus documentation?

    I know its on the list of possible future enhancements, but thats all I have heard. I've also heard that list is fairly long and I dont know the priority either. They only have a small dev team and alot of time and effort is focused on new products at the moment like Maven, that I do know.

    iV/X10 Setup Suggestions & Improvements

    another thing you can try is getting one of those plastic bulb pipettes used to sample water or chemicals, and cut the tip off about 1". Then insert that into the end of the regent down tube into the iV beaker. This reduces the diameter of the output and controls how much acid is released during...

    iV/X10 Setup Suggestions & Improvements

    the glass probe is MUCH more responsive to changes from the acid titration. I find that it does hold values tighter

    iV/X10 Setup Suggestions & Improvements

    Yes love them. I went over 300 days without recalibrating. After I did, I was less than 0.2 dkH off. It held calibration super well

    Mqtt functionality

    Hydros has 20 years of catch up to do. API/other integrations are on the list but as the priority of those currently, I have no idea. I know they have a huge list of wants and improvements but it all comes down to staffing. So give them time, keep pushing for features and in time they will...

    Nutrient tester, Maven JR perhaps

    Completely understand, and I agree. When i get a maven, I will still use a X10/iV for my alk testing since its way cheaper to run for more tests. But I will use Maven to spot check my alk every week or so, just as a backup. And calc/mag will be only checked every 1-3 weeks. As for a...

    DIY Guide: 36VDC Devices on Kraken Force Ports

    So looking at the actually Red Sea ReefRun DC 7000, it has a max power rating of 65W. So at 65W/24V, that's about 3A per pump. Now you will want to use the DC/DC booster I have over in this thread: https://forum.coralvuehydros.com/threads/diy-guide-24v-jebao-pumps-on-kraken-battery.2112/ since...

    DIY Guide: 36VDC Devices on Kraken Force Ports

    So I only use my 36V booster currently on a backup pump in case i lose power. I do check the pump daily for 15 mins to make sure it still works. And to this point I havent had any issues. But I am not running it all the time anymore. But in the start I did run it 24/7 to test it out, and had no...

    Nutrient tester, Maven JR perhaps

    Most likely in the short term, your best option is to just not run those reagents/tests on the current maven. The way the programming is set up, doesn't force you to run any tests if you dont want to. So you could technically just run the 4 reagents for PO4/NO3, and leave the rest disconnected...

    GX-12 nut and washer replacement?

    Those can be hard to find. I would say reach out to support@coralvue.com and see if they might be able to get you some or sell you some. Another option is to order these and use the nuts off them. But 1) they will take weeks to get and 2) they sometimes screw up orders. GX12 Connector Front...

    Command Bus Powered Probe Port Module(s)

    Just wanted to help fill in some information about some more of the technical side of Hydros and why or what design decisions were made to this point. Just to give you some background information on what the hydros command bus is and how it works. The Command Bus is actually a low speed but...
