USA-built aquarium automation system that monitors & controls equipment from an intuitive app.
Two-Controller Pro Pack with Dual pH/ORP Ports and Eight Monitored Outlets
The HYDROS Control X4 / XP8 PRO Pack combines two HYDROS controllers into one ready-to-connect system for saltwater and freshwater aquariums. The Control X4 handles monitoring and 12V control, with four sense ports for sensors such as temperature, water level, and leak detectors, two probe ports for pH or ORP, two drive ports for pumps and solenoids, and a 0-10V port. The Control XP8 handles power, with eight individually controlled and monitored 120V AC outlets for heaters, lights, pumps, skimmers, and more.
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 X4 with four sense ports, two drive ports, and a 0-10V input and output port
- Two digitally isolated pH/ORP probe ports on the Control X4
- 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 if it is disconnected from the rest of the system
- Passively cooled XP8 with no noisy fans, and IP65-rated Control X4
Ideal For:
- Reef keepers who want dual pH/ORP monitoring plus full equipment control in one bundle
- Hobbyists adding variable-speed pumps or third-party gear through the 0-10V port
- Anyone building a HYDROS system who wants room to grow without adding modules
Pro Tips:
- Calibrate the pH probe before setting alert thresholds. Use the included calibration solutions first, so your alerts reflect accurate readings.
- Use the second probe port for a second reading. Run ORP alongside pH, or cross-check two pH probes for confidence in your readings.
- Balance heavy loads across XP8 outlets. Each outlet handles up to 8A and the whole bar handles 14A total, so spread heaters and pumps out instead of stacking them.
