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.

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.

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.

A solid shop that will walk someone through the process and available tools. It's not about a sale, it's about relationships.

Watch out Neptune :)

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.

Awesome product and team

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….

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.

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!

Very nice guys! Well done!

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 😮

Not a bot comment. Nice job Fellas!

We talk a customer through our 480g hydros set up and they quickly see where hydros can help them and where to begin.

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!

Glad to see hydros is still pumping out new products. Feels like yesterday they asked our Facebook group admins to be testers lol

Absolutely love this!

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

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!

It's awesomeness

Awesome, so no more complaints from the users about the wifi outlets disconnect issues

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!

This is awesome really wish i knew about this a week ago. I just bought two x10's and two x4's

Us Aussies are still keen for your products :)

Just visit our shop and I'll run them through my Hydros and explain what would be best for a person to start with.

Yessiiirrr!

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.

need more I/O out or better yet need a small cheap unit with a couple of I/O out ports.

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

yea budddyyy

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

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

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

How does it replace power bricks. I don’t see the connector for 1

When Hydros be available in Europe?

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

How about updating iv to give option for ph salinity without alkalinity

✌🏽

When will you ship to the UK? I've asked so many times and never get a response

When will it be for sale?

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.

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.
