    Need pointed in the right direction - need a diy solution that lets me know when water runs dry and the AIO drains (due to ATO failure).

    I ended up having an optical in my ATO reservoir, a tri-optical for the ATO with a float back up. Then I have an optical almost to the bottom of my AIO as an emergency run dry alarm. I also put an optical sensor on the intake side that stays dry and alerts me when the sock gets glogged and...

    Just set up my Hydros X4/X2 and need help with a scenario.

    Ok, I will give that a try. I’m still waiting on some sensors that were on back order. Thank you.

    Need help with an output that shuts off outlets based on input

    I have a water level sensor submerged to just above the return pump. It is to prevent running dry. I want to have an output that turns off several outlets (hydros powerstrip basic one) if the sensor returns dry. I have tried generic and combiner. Neither work. I can select the water level...

    Just set up my Hydros X4/X2 and need help with a scenario.

    Need some help with a scenario. I have a water level sensor (underwater) just above the return pump. If the sump runs dry, and triggers that sensor that it changed from wet to dry, I want to turn off the return pump and the heater. I cannot figure out how to do this. I have tried both...

    Need pointed in the right direction - need a diy solution that lets me know when water runs dry and the AIO drains (due to ATO failure).

    So what would be better? The float switch to detect low water levels in my AIO or the optical sensor? I can’t do both, not enough space. Same for the ATO supply, float or optical for running low?

    I think I may have answered my own question while adding Hydros things to my cart. They have a HYDROS Water Level Sensor That I was planning on getting for the ATO jug. Since it alerts when the jug gets low, I am assuming I can put it down further into my AIO just above the pump and if the...

    Need pointed in the right direction - need a diy solution that lets me know when water runs dry and the AIO drains (due to ATO failure).

    I had a run dry situation while on vacation. My ATO failed and never topped off the tank. If you saw my post on R2R, you know what happened. But I lost all fish, most inverts, clams, and anemone. I was recommend Hydros for its flexbility and reliability. I am looking at the XP8 AC strip...
