CoralVue HYDROS Start Controller (HDRS‑START) 🟠✨
A simple, affordable entry point into the HYDROS ecosystem designed for ATO control, leak detection, temperature monitoring, and basic automation.
The HYDROS Start Controller is built for hobbyists who want reliable, sensor‑based automation without the complexity or cost of larger controllers. It includes essential Sense Ports, a Drive Port for powering ATO pumps or solenoids, and Command Bus connectivity so it can operate alone or become part of a larger HYDROS Collective.
It’s ideal for nano tanks, AIO systems, frag tanks, RODI stations, or as a safety module in bigger reef systems.
✨ Description
The HYDROS Start provides the core monitoring and automation features reefers rely on most: temperature, water‑level control, leak detection, and ATO pump operation. Its compact, durable enclosure makes it easy to mount in tight spaces, and its Command Bus port allows it to expand into a full HYDROS Collective later.
This controller is perfect for anyone who wants smart automation, failsafe protection, and HYDROS reliability at an entry‑level price point.
