USA-built aquarium automation system that monitors & controls equipment from an intuitive app.
Two-Controller Pro Pack with pH Monitoring and Eight Monitored Outlets
The HYDROS Control X3 / XP8 PRO Pack combines two HYDROS controllers into one ready-to-connect system for saltwater and freshwater aquariums. The Control X3 handles monitoring, with two sense ports for sensors such as temperature, water level, and leak detectors, plus a probe port for pH or ORP. The Control XP8 handles power, with eight individually controlled and monitored 120V AC outlets for heaters, lights, pumps, skimmers, and more.
Together, the two controllers link over the included Command Bus cable and share decisions across the system with no single point of communication failure. Both can send alerts to your phone, and both can add up to eight WiFi devices through a HYDROS WiFi Power Strip or Smart Plug (sold separately). All HYDROS products are engineered, assembled, and supported in the USA.
Key Features:
- Control X3 with two sense ports and one digitally isolated pH/ORP probe port
- Control XP8 with eight individually controlled AC outlets and per-outlet power monitoring
- Included pH probe with calibration solutions and temperature sensor
- Included 6ft Command Bus cable with two terminators to link both controllers
- Dual-core 32-bit processor in each device for fast, on-device decisions
- XP8 can take over decision-making for the system if it is disconnected from the rest of the collective
- Passively cooled XP8 with no noisy fans
- IP65-rated Control X3 for protection against splashes and dust
Ideal For:
- Hobbyists who want pH monitoring and equipment control in one bundle
- Reef keepers replacing basic timers with a monitored, app-controlled power system
- Anyone starting a HYDROS system who wants it to grow with future controllers
Pro Tips:
- Connect the pH probe before you set alert thresholds. Calibrate it with the included solutions first, so your alerts reflect accurate readings.
- Spread heavy loads across outlets. Each XP8 outlet handles up to 8A and the whole bar handles 14A total, so balance heaters and pumps rather than stacking them on a few outlets.
- Use the XP8’s per-outlet monitoring to spot trouble early. A pump or heater drawing unusual power can be an early sign of a failing device.
