I am really glad you guys are in business, Neptune needs a better competitor, we are excited to switch over once the Maven is available!!!

Hydros taking over the controller market

@ScottieMacF Ай бұрын

Next Step: A Manifold fully controlled through Hydros. Flow sensors on each output so I can tell Hydros how much flow I need on each one and it adjusts the valves and increases the pump power accordingly.

Awesome guys this may be great for small water changes on my BioCube 32. Keep up the great work!

Excellent addition to the ecosystem. Probably favours people with larger systems but another string to the hydros bow

You’d use it for kalk/auto water changes this is huge

YES! just what I have been asking for for a while. just wish there where two pumps on the sole. $600 to do AWC is pretty steep. would love to pick one up form my ATO pump from the basement too. basically I need 3 of these per tank.

@CoralVueTV Ай бұрын

The Sole can be used for AWC even as a single pump, since it is capable of running both backward and forwards. The Sole was designed to meet the needs of those who required a continuous dosing pump that could provide more than 100mL/min. Also, don't forget that this is not the last HYDROS device, and more are currently in development.😉

Can you guys do a video on sulfer reactors?

@gordonellisjr331 Ай бұрын

Sulfur reactors and media is not a very popular Nutrient control method anymore. I looked into this myself. It's an antiquated method. Your better off Using Bacteria and carbon dosing to control your nutrients. Look into and learn about your microbiome and how it affects the nitrification process.

@davidmorits630 Ай бұрын

@@gordonellisjr331 yes there is a lot of hype right now on microbiome for sure and bacterias. The sulfer reactor is a bacteria based reactor which should add to the microbiome too. I have tried carbon dosing and it did not work well for me at the time. My tank was set up with live rock from multiple sources so the biome should have been decent.

@CoralVueTV Ай бұрын

Noted. We will most likely create a future video demonstrating the use of sulfur reactors with the HYDROS.

Oh yeah. Sign me up!!! My calcium reactor is waiting on the release. From Beta testing, any idea on tubing life???

@CoralVueTV Ай бұрын

We have seen more than a year with no issues but we will be suggesting replacing the main roller tubing every 6-8 months or as needed.

Why is Bull Reef Supply discontinuing the sale of allot of Hydros accessories? ATO stuff too. I take it there’s more than one flooded basement and lawsuit?

BRS discontinued the whole HYDROS line several weeks ago along with a slew of other popular brands that are not under their umbrella.

What pump do you guys recommend for reliable auto water changes for a 500 gal system?

@REEFHUB-Offical Ай бұрын

I did a video covering AWC for Hydros on my channel. In that video I used two Kamoer pumps that can do 600ml/min. The size of the Dosing pump is really up to you with how AWC is currently supported and as long as it meets your WC needs.

@EmmettRuyle-jf1hk Ай бұрын

This is interesting - My question here comes in the programming aspect. Currently, there is a "dosing limit" per schedule of 500ml. Is there an update coming that addresses that limit or do I will I still have to run multiple schedules in order to work around this?

@jeffreybednarek9074 Ай бұрын

in an upcoming app release you will be able to program the Sole pump in "runs constantly" mode at any fixed rate (forward or reverse), in addition the "Depends On" control is available when continuous mode is enabled. This way you can turn off and on the sole pump in continuous mode based off another output profile (like the ATO profile or generic). As for schedules, the max dosage per schedule is being increased to 20000 when you enable the text box for a dosing schedule. The slider will still only go to 500, but if you expand it to text mode, you can do more.

@wojtekdrozd3062 Ай бұрын

Can you use it inside a fridge?

@CoralVueTV Ай бұрын

Using the Sole in a fridge should not be an issue for the doser itself but depending on the contents being used may impact the dosing tubing.

Did anyone mention if this guy can handle water changes? What’s the specs/limits?

@jeffreybednarek9074 Ай бұрын

yes they can. 0.1ml/min to 300ml/min. can be run on a dosing schedule (for AWC) or continuous mode

@CoralVueTV Ай бұрын

.1ml-300ml/min Forward and Reverse

@@CoralVueTV $299 a head is quite expensive though. Your team has been great at pricing these items very well against Neptune. You can get a Neptune DOS QD at $349. My guess the price would have been $175 a head. Its deftly nice to see a doser like this be supported in Hydros, but I hope the price is really reconsidered here.

@maccguyca Ай бұрын

Possible to be more descriptive in your advertisements? Gives you the basics of what they do but not what the product is capable of now and down the line. Like the Maven. I really wanted this to work but the advertisements tell you that it tests and can connect to dosing units but wasn't really specific if it could rectify the problem similar to what an apex Trident does as I was looking for something pretty quick I went with Apex as I was sure as what it does. Just a suggestion for newbies like me

@TrevorHiller Ай бұрын

Can you elaborate on what you are expecting? What do you mean how it deals with the issue found? An auto tester (Neptune, Hydros, Alkatronic, etc.) just tests for you. It’s up to the aquarist to react and manage the data it provides or to create a program using the controller to execute and action to manage it. They all work very similarly. Some are just better than others.
