Yeah I’ve tried it a few times. Probably will talk to CoralVue tomorrow or next week.Did you try it again?

Has anyone had this happen?
I’m setting up my control x2 and went through the WiFi setup. It says that it was successfully connected, but will not reboot after that… stays breathing purple. So it is connected over Bluetooth but shows device not responding over WiFi. Also I do have a 2.4Ghz network.
I use one for an ATO pump. It has been working great for me. It is actually made by Kamoer for Hydros. I think the pump motor and head are the same as the X1. It is not stand alone and does require a controller. It comes with a drive port cable but you can get a power pack for it if you want to use a controlled AC outlet.Anyone with the Hydros doser think it is a decent doser? I can't find much information/ long(ish) term reviews on it since it is relatively new and specific.
Looking to add a doser to another tank. My main tank has a Kamoer X1 Pro wifi pump. This tank has an open drive port from my X4. I COULD move my X1 to the other tank and run the Hydros pump on main. I assume they are the same internals for the most part.
Is the Hydros pump a good enough pump for simple Alk dosing?
Or, should I drop a bit more $$ and get a stand alone unit like the ReefDose 2/4 to future proof my dosing needs. The fact I can't chain the Hydros dosers and have them on separate schedules is... concerning.
Anyone have actual experience with the Hydros doser?
I have two. They work great so far and easy set up with the controllerAnyone with the Hydros doser think it is a decent doser? I can't find much information/ long(ish) term reviews on it since it is relatively new and specific.

Running on both drive ports or are you using a wifi strip to power?I have two. They work great so far and easy set up with the controller
One of each. I have one on a drive port but I ran out so the other is off the wifi strip using a 12v power supply I had laying around.Running on both drive ports or are you using a wifi strip to power?
I went from DA to Hydros. For me it was an easy transition. The XS only has 4 sense ports for inputs. These can be used for temp sensors, water level sensors, leak detectors and more. The X2 or Control 2 only has 2 sense ports and 2 drive ports. So it depends on what you want to do as to which one will be best. If you need more All you have to do is add another control unit and start a collective. You will need a control buss cable and a terminator to connect the two together. One supply will power at least 4 control units since I had a X4, 2 X2's and a XS all on one supply. I now have 8 control units in two locations in a collective. So it can grow as your needs increase. I started with an X4 starter kit. The starter kit for all comes with at least a power supply, a control unit, a temp sensor and a wifi power strip. the X4 and X3 also has a pH probe with them. The X3 has two sense ports and a probe port.I am looking at upgrading my old DA Reef Keeper Lite. Apex is too highly priced for what it is and the Hydros looks to be a great modern counter part to DA. Those that are using a Hydros how do you like it? Please give me some feed back. Also I'm not sure on the difference between the Control 2 and the Control XS?
The Control 4 will control 0-10v wave pumps. The pump have to have a 0-10v control input to work with the 0-10v output. It is just a control output and not a power port.I know the 0-10v will drive newer powerheads. I have some older tunze (no attached controller) but they do work with the 7096. Will these still work with the 0-10v output on hydros? Also do I need wave engine to actually setup the "wave" control like I would with the tunze controller?
No, they are not compatible.Are the Kasa hs300 6 outlet wifi strips compatible with the hydro controller?
Yes I am a ton. I just sent in another ticket. I never had issues until recently and it’s every day. I have tried everything there is and nothing fixes it.Has anyone else recently seen an increase in the number of times that the power strip drops offline?
I had set up a separate access point and, whilst it didn't fully resolve the problem, it was better and was only dropping off a couple of times a day.
Over the last few days, it has dropped off repeatedly (maybe 8 times a day). I don't know why this has suddenly changed and assume it is to do with my network (although I haven't changed anything) but just wondered if it was just me?
None for me but I never have. Even set up another Hydros on my qt and have had zero connection issues. Put in a ticket, maybe they can help you sort it out.Has anyone else recently seen an increase in the number of times that the power strip drops offline?

nope, all five working fine.Has anyone else recently seen an increase in the number of times that the power strip drops offline?
