- We are excited to announce the newest addition to our HYDROS product lineup, the Launch Aquarium Controller! Check out this video to see what our team at CoralVue has been working on for the past few months. To stay up-to-date on the release date and be the first to experience the future of aquarium technology with CoralVue HYDROS, please subscribe now.
A+. Wish this was the first product you launched.
The Launch will be my first Hydros purchase and my first automation equipment in this hobby. I am 3 years into the hobby and I have been holding out for this moment. I'm very excited to begin my journey in the Hydros family.
You will not be disappointed! Welcome to the hobby (3 years later), but rest assured, as you grow your aquarium hobby, so will your HYDROS! Everything is modular!
Me too. With the new auto water tester. This seems to be the new up and comer.
I was on the fence about entering the Hydros ecosystem but this has definitely convinced me to give it a try. Looks like everything I have ever wanted out of a controller, real excited to try this out.
Another home run! Great job CoralVue.
Watch out Neptune :)
A solid shop that will walk someone through the process and available tools. It's not about a sale, it's about relationships.
I’m about to get away from GHL because, well tbh they sick to deal with as a company. This is amazing. Having people actually seem to want to help and making it user friendly is a no brainer.
Literally have been waffling on choosing a controller for the last 18 months. This seems to be 98% of what I was looking for. Can’t wait.
Awesome product and team
Guys, I think that you hit the 460 ft fence out of the park with this one. Like you explained, this device is the "Meca" for everyone getting into automation. For me, it's what I was waiting to finally do the complete transition from the other controller. Even I still looking for few other things but it's no brainer.
Very nice guys! Well done!
I hope your next podcast will show us how you''d set up the Launch to work with an actual aquarium, and then show it actually running the aquarium.
This is awesome guys, may have to pick this up would be great for my QT system. Glad it sounds like it will be available soon. Keep up the great work guys….
Thanks for the kind comments. We are surely excited. Please look out for the Launch this April.
We talk a customer through our 480g hydros set up and they quickly see where hydros can help them and where to begin.
This is the perfect option for like 80% of tanks! Especially nano tanks. If it replaced two of the drive ports for two pump ports, it would be the most complete thing on the market imo. But hey the wave engine is pretty reasonable already!
Not a bot comment.
Nice job Fellas!
I agree with others, this should have been the 1st hydros controller. great to see this. I have the xp8 & x4 but this could be nice to have too.
The 4 drives ports make this a great dosing solution when paired with the hydros dosers! Kalk and 3 part in one shot. Very interesting 😮
Glad to see hydros is still pumping out new products. Feels like yesterday they asked our Facebook group admins to be testers lol
Ohhhhh just you wait.
@@CoralVueTV oh don't be teasing now lol
Wow congrats! I'm not a newbie in hydros world but still excited. I already have the XP and the X10 and I'm so satisfied as a consumer. Might add the Launch to my collection for extra AC outlets and 12v ports 😊 Way to go CoralVue!
That is the best part! A truly modular system that conforms to provide EXACTLY what you require out of an aquarium controller!
Absolutely love this!
This will be perfect for my Macro Tank in need of some sensing and control!
pretty cool for a starter kit. i wish this came out first before i bought a million pieces!
I love hydros, it’s the only controller I’ll use. I’ve had apex and it was just terrible. I love how you guys always come out with new product.
I do have one complaint tho, can we get the x8 box to be reversible? Can we also get a white please? The black is so ugly against my stand
I guess more of two requests than complaints
Us Aussies are still keen for your products :)
Awesome, so no more complaints from the users about the wifi outlets disconnect issues
This is awesome really wish i knew about this a week ago. I just bought two x10's and two x4's
It's awesomeness
Just visit our shop and I'll run them through my Hydros and explain what would be best for a person to start with.
Love this for my nano I’m building! Carlos, what rail are you using to hang your coral care light? I love that idea. Just can’t find anything strong enough.
The rail used is a track for indoor track lighting.
need more I/O out or better yet need a small cheap unit with a couple of I/O out ports.
Although I agree tools can assist in the husbandry and health of a reef tank, it is the steep learning curve that one must navigate through that ultimately determines ones success and longevity in this hobby. The cost of equipment and tools aside, mistakes can be costly. Additionally, the plethora of information out there regarding what you should do, what you shouldn't do, can be overwhelming and confusing. Simply stated, this hobby is not for everybody, it is a labor of love, requiring perseverance, and a continued thirst for knowledge in order to provide the best care for these beautiful creatures. Reef on!
Yessiiirrr!
Two minutes into the podcast. Talk of too many products. Just my opinion, that's nonsense. It's the strength of hydros, a system that can grow with you, options for different levels of control freak or monitoring. Honestly I love this about hydros.
I'll keep watching and hope you don't lose this beautiful versatility
Ahhhh ok, this is good for a beginner. I like this. More products please
Guys this marketing is confusing. On your website for the controller it’s saying in one area it comes with the salinity probe and in another area the ‘what’s in the box’ it states ph probe. Clarification please! I want to own one of these one day, but I need to know what I need to foresee cost wise
Edit: I re read it, it’s calling a port a probe. That’s why I’m confused I think. Please let me know if I’m crazy
Question, why not doing every unit for 20 amps instead of 15 amps, a heater can jump the unit to almost 18-19 amps and cause an alarm on the system
Thank you for your comment. We have taken this into consideration. However, to support 20A, your home needs a 20A breaker installed, which may not be available in a large percentage of US homes.
Well actually in my case I remodel my house having the tank in consideration and next to my tank I have three designated outlets on three different breakers of 20 amps each, the sum wish is outside the house has two designated outlets with two 20 amps breakers too. So I’m ready. I did everything think ahead for the future 😊
Non-proprietary (e.g., generic LiFePO4) battery backup at a reasonable price is a key feature. Needing to buy-in to kraken at kraken prices is a non-starter for me.
AMEN
yea budddyyy
When Hydros be available in Europe?
We are currently in the initial stages of expanding our business in the US market. Our priority is to meet the increasing demand while simultaneously focusing on our growth. This approach will enable us to serve other countries in the future once our products become available outside our current market.
Having trouble with my wifi feeder. I did everything to the T but it will not run program. Next to output name "food" it's saying "Restart WiFi device" while under WiFi devices next to Hydros feeder it says "Responding". Everytime I call the support number I get sent to voice message and am told to submit a ticket. I always call during business hours central time. Any help would be appreciated
Also the module that I'm using is Control xp8 and the Control x4
I apologize for any frustration. We reply to messages in the order received. To start the process and for the quickest response, I encourage you to submit a support ticket at support.coralvue.com.
When will you ship to the UK? I've asked so many times and never get a response
Im sorry you have not gotten a response, however, we do answer this question often. We must keep up with our home market before expanding international. Not only for sales, but supporting the product as well. Those avenues have not been established yet. We have the desire, but manageable growth is key to success, of course.
As for a Tip...the XP8 is 220v compatible. Therefore, you may utilize that device as the power giver, downside is that you would need adaptors for each of the US style plugs. If you are able to find a retailer to ship it to you, it should work. But, there are no avenues to support the product. Hope this helps, sorry its not exactly what you wanted to hear.
How does it replace power bricks. I don’t see the connector for 1
You replace power bricks by using the 12V drive ports and remove small 12V items like ATO pumps, Kalk Mixer motors, Dosing pumps, Solenoids small lights etc. Each one of those items would need a power brick or wall wart.
@@CoralVueTV would love to see a demo video where u demonstrate power bricks replacing by 12v cable connecting to a controller nothing better than demonstrate and everyone see a innovation method replacing all power bricks to a single cable/controller i did a search on youtuble and i didnt find 1 video
How about updating iv to give option for ph salinity without alkalinity
The iV is just a component to isolate the test and to perform the alk test. By no means are you required to use the iV just for alk testing. You can always just use it to isolate your pH and Salinity tests.
The duration of most hobbyists is a cycle. There are not enough hobbyists to sustain the industry, there for the Marine industry have turned it in to a pay to play hobby. If you can't pay you can't play.
So the cycle happens of new hobbyists can justify the expense initial as the cost will stop soon. But the tank crashes, ich, cost of equipment eventually takes a toll.
From own experience as a life time hobbyists.
It's very hard to restart after you out grow a tank, your now installing an 8x3x2. Reef show is in one week in another state. 2 days before you leave the tank cracks.
You have 20k of coral and fish setup in tubs and lights and filtration it's been stable and you leave for 1 week.
You come back an 20k of coral and fish gone.
You don't get those costs in other hobbies
When will it be for sale?
Release date is set for April 2024 🙂
@@CoralVueTVNo April Fool’s, right?
✌🏽
Back to square 1 to make $$$$....
i don't mean to be a dickhead but looks like if u want to expand u will be better if u get another HYDROS Launch 8 plugs and u can put sensor alk both on aquarium,ato conteiner/sump just lack of 24v ports and auto tester
Went from APEX, to HYDROS and back because HYDROS didn't work and APEX did, despite the code. Sounded great in theory. I was all behind all the sales points, but the thing was super wonky and the WiFi was completely unreliable. Wanted to like it, but there's a long way to go, especially with the APP. I am by NO MEANS an APEX fanboy. I tried your product for a reason and find Neptune to be cheaply made. Your product is much more durable, but it simply didn't work. Even getting the thing to pair was extremely difficult.
Works great with my WiFi and have been using it for 3 years now…I’ve always said, if people have spotty WiFi, can’t blame hydros for that as some people are using a cheap ISP router and expect it to be reliable…problem is, people get a false sense of security with their other devices because they don’t alert you of the slightest drops…if you have a cheap ISP router, they have hardwired options like xp8
Nice try. I have the highest end router on the market and an APEX Jr. mounted in the same exact spot as the hydros was. No issues. @@djmikefury1
@@rolisreefranch You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, and thank you for attempting the product. My only hope is that you were able to reach out to our support team for assistance before throwing in the towel.
BS company. I wanted to purchase 4 units for my aquaculture business, and I never got a reply to my emails. By the way, I'm not in the US.
They’re not focused on international as they mentioned several times as they’re still trying to supplement the US market
Im sorry to hear you think we are a BS Company. But I would like to remind that we are a North American Distributor and at this time are not focused on an international market.
