The XP8 itself can only power devices up to 8A each, or a total of 14A for the total XP8... so what do you do when you have a device that uses more power? or want to offload a larger device to a different circuit? The following tutorial and device can help you in those situations. Amazon sells...

With the latest FW/SW release of App 374 and FW 323, alkalinity testing using any other device than an X10 has now been opened to everyone. That being said, using this function on any other device than an X10 requires some considerations to ensure proper operation. This method of iV also is...

This DIY tutorial shows you how to run some Jebao 24V pumps on a Kraken Force Port AND be able to take advantage of battery mode (12V). Note: this is a DIY method and please understand everything in this guide before attempting, failure to do so could damage your equipment. Coralvue, nor I...

This DIY tutorial shows you how to run some 36VDC devices (like the Varios 6/8) on a Kraken Force (24V) port. Note: this is a DIY method and please understand everything in this guide before attempting, failure to do so could damage your equipment. Coralvue, nor I, take any responsibility. Got...

Here are a few suggestions for those running the iV/X10 to improve performance based on my personal experience with the X10: Having accuracy issues? - Read the suggestions below. - Make sure your dosing tubes are fully placed onto the dosing head nipples as far as possible! Prevents air leaks...

The following resource is how to interface the following Jebao pump products to Hydro's 0-10V port on the Wave Engine V1/V2 or X4 controller: This interface method replaces the standard Jebao controller with a 0-10V compatible controller from Coral Box. The Coral Box AquaLink A1 is a 3rd...

This post will serve as a summary page for commonly used DC (direct current) reefing equipment that can be used with the Kraken. Note that the information provided here is for reference purposes only. Please post below devices you have used and found to work on Kraken and I will update these...

Did some testing this week with the new high head pressure ATO pump from Tunze. And from initial testing, it appears that it works with the Hydros Drive Port. You need to adapt it for a drive port but thats not too hard. This is the new pump...

This goes over how to control a nicrew LED (hyperreef 50/100/150 only) with Hydros 0-10V output from a X4 or a WELE/WE (with a collective). What you need: - 2x of these TRS female to pigtail wires Amazon.com - 1x of these TRRS male to terminal block Amazon.com - 1x Hydros quad 0-10V cable You...

Pulling this off onto its own thread since its an easier way to interface eTape sensors with Hydros. I have a full tutorial here: Hydros LLS Sensor Tutorial But in short, you CAN use Neptunes LLS sensors with Hydro's 0-10V input channels/port. They are super handy for monitoring levels or...

I found another sensor that works very well with Hydros that provides both humidity and temp. In addition this new sensor is pretty rugged and can be used for high humidity situations like reptile enclosures where other solutions previously would've suffered in these environments. This sensor...

If you are typically dosing volumes smaller than optimal for the native 40ml/min rate of the Hydros Drive Port Doser, I’ve got a simple solution for you. Amazon sells a bunch of different 12VDC PWM motor speed controllers for really cheap (under $10). You can use one of these to reduce the speed...

I put together a slide deck going over a few ways to interface the commonly available eTape liquid level sensors from Milone and another 3rd party company. This project will be a work in progress but here is what I have to start...

I have started to compile a few google slide presentations for certain topics that involve the Hydros controller series. Here are decks that are currently available: Hydros 101: 0-10V Inputs/Outputs Hydros 101: Calcium Reactors Disclaimer: These references are produced by a 3rd party and...

Normally Hydros can detect when prime/wall power is lost by using the Icecap V3 Battery backup on a wave engine. Hydros does this by seeing the drop of DC power into the wave engine from 24V wall power to 12V battery power. Then you can configure Hydros to fall back to a pre-defined "low power"...

It would be nice to have a new type of output in Hydros that would allow users to link the state of RED/ORANGE/YELLOW to a physical output. Under this new output type, I would envisioning having check boxes for each alert level that you'd want to tie to this output. So for example if I had a...

A live tutorial that I will keep up to date with everything 0-10V Port: Hydros 101: 0-10V

Here is a simple DIY project for using the 4 0-10V output channels of a WE or X4 to control 4 DC outputs. This is handy if you have devices that run off a common DC voltage (either 12V or 24V since they are very common for aquarium devices) that you'd have to be able to turn off and on using...

I can’t find this posted yet but figured I’d add it. It would be very handy if you could add a schedule option to modes. Be handy esp with the auto feeder as well. Just a suggestion.

I've added a break out box to the line of JBA products. https://www.jbaquaticsllc.com/product/hydros-0-10v-port-breakout-box/44?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false This new product allows easy access to the 0-10V port channels for DIY projects. Each 0-10V GX12-6 connector on the Wave Engine...
