Ready to Take Full Control of Your Tank?
Your reliable aquarium monitoring solution that works around the clock.
This all-in-one beginner controller helps you monitor your aquarium so you can finally relax and enjoy the views. Start with simple power control and temperature monitoring, then add more features like leak detection, water monitoring, and 12V device control as you become more comfortable. Thanks to the easy-to-use HYDROS app and expert American engineering, the HYDROS Start can be programmed to respond automatically to any changes needed, like turning off heaters if it gets too hot or stopping all equipment if it detects a leak. It’s your trusted partner for a stress-free and joyful aquarium experience, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
The Start includes four 120V AC outlets that can control and power devices such as return pumps or protein skimmers.
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 different types of sensors.
Drive ports provide power (switched 12Vdc) and communicate between devices! They also monitor current and can be notified if a failure occurs.
The HYDROS App allows you to create rules and schedules to control up to eight wifi devices, such as the HYDROS fish feeder, power strips, and smart outlet.
The Command Bus not only powers the Control, but it also communicates with other HYDROS devices for the ultimate failsafe.

There is no complicated programming language to learn. If you can operate a smartphone, you can be the operator of a smart aquarium—tap, drag, press, or flick to adjust settings using intuitive icons and simple menus. Schedule each component in your aquarium life support system to run at a specific time, frequency, or intensity. You can also use real-time data and easily configure more complex actions.
The HYDROS system forms a web to monitor and control equipment like water level sensors, automatic top-off pumps, and other devices. Unlike other automation systems, the HYDROS Control can eliminate communication problems and maintain control of the aquarium even if a device is removed or shuts down.
Leaving a cord unplugged or forgetting to turn a device back on can have devastating consequences on your aquarium. With the HYDROS App’s notification alerts, you can protect your investment and turn a possible disaster into nothing more than a simple inconvenience.
Control your aquarium gear locally through WiFi, which you do not need an internet connection for, or remotely using the HYDROS Cloud. The HYDROS Cloud allows you to securely and reliably communicate with the Controls through the internet.
For those who prefer a direct connection, the Control XP8 is a great option that includes eight individually controlled outlets offering the highest level of security. Like the other WiFi outlets, the Control XP8 can also control up to eight HYDROS WiFi devices.
If you need on-demand equipment or a scheduling regime, then these outlets are ready to be controlled!
*HYDROS WiFi Power Strip and Smart Outlet requires HYDROS App and a Control unit to operate. Control XP8 is a HYDROS controller and only requires the HYDROS app.
We strive to provide an experience that allows the HYDROS community to engage with ease, each other, and other aquatic enthusiasts every day.
