I will say I was excited when I heard about the Coralvue HYDROS WaveEngine and even more excited when I was asked if I wanted to beta test one. My system has 7 aquariums and two sumps. Each tank has one or more circulation pumps so I have a lot of cords and pump controllers. It is a mess and I have done very little cord management because I am not sure what to do with them all. On my WaveEngine right now I am running one IceCap 3k, two XF-250 Maxspect Gyres, and a VarioS-2 directly. So I eliminated 3 controllers and 3 power supplies and put them all on one.
I also set up a VarioS-4 on 0-10v control. I wanted to push it to the limit to see if this could handle it. So basically I am running 5 pumps off the WaveEngine.
Everything was really easy to set up and after my first pump, it only took a few minutes to set the next pump up. You set up a pump, you then set up a preset and a trigger. Preset is the type of flow you want. An example would be constant, random, SPS mode, etc and there are like 10 to choose from right now. A trigger is when you want it to run.
I was not using any controller on this tank so it is nice to be able to see my pumps on the cloud now and have control over them remotely. The APP tells you some pretty good information about the pumps too like what speed the pump is running at, power draw, shaft RPM, etc. (see pictures)
The only issue I have is now I want another for my other system and a second for this system
