HYDROS Duet

Aquarium control and monitoring with two super-duty liquid dosing pumps.

The HYDROS Duet is a professional-grade aquarium controller and monitoring system built around two super-duty liquid dosing pumps, engineered for high-volume liquid management in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Designed for demanding applications like automatic water changes, calcium reactor effluent control, kalkwasser additions, liquid food dosing, and sulfur reactor feeding, the Duet delivers the precision and reliability that hobbyists and professionals depend on.

It works seamlessly as a standalone controller or as part of a broader HYDROS ecosystem, and when paired with a HYDROS XP8, it unlocks full outlet control over lights, pumps, feeders, and other accessories. Real-time alerts and push notifications keep you connected to your aquarium around the clock.

Four Sense Ports

HYDROS devices are utilizing an entirely new way to measure parameters. A Sense Port is a universal input port that can gather data from numerous sensors.

Eight WiFi Devices

The HYDROS App allows you to create rules and schedules to control up to eight Wi-Fi devices, such as the HYDROS fish feeder, power strips, and smart outlet. Accessories are sold separately.

Quick & Easy Setup

Absolutely No Coding!

There is no complicated programming language to learn. If you can operate a smartphone, you can be the operator of an intelligent aquarium—tap, drag, press, or flick to adjust settings using intuitive icons and simple menus. Schedule each aquarium life support system component to run at a specific time, frequency, or intensity. You can also use real-time data and easily configure more complex actions.

System Smart Net

All HYDROS devices speak with each other to keep your aquarium thriving!

The HYDROS system forms a web to monitor and control equipment like water level sensors, automatic top-off pumps, and others. Unlike other automation systems, HYDROS Control can eliminate communication problems and maintain control of the aquarium even if a device is removed or shuts down. 

Alerts, Alarms, & Notifications

Accidents happen, but with HYDROS, it doesn’t have to be a disaster.

Leaving a cord unplugged or forgetting to turn a device back on can devastate your aquarium. With the HYDROS App’s notification alerts, you can protect your investment and turn a possible disaster into a simple inconvenience.
