Hydros Triple Optical Level Sensor
Overview
The Triple Optical Water Level Sensor plugs directly into a Sense Port on a HYDROS device and does not require an additional power source.
3 Water Level Sensors Added Redundancy
The HYDROS Triple Optical Water Level Sensor can be used for a variety of aquarium applications, such as sensing when your tank needs to be topped off or detecting when a dosing container needs a refill. It plugs into any Sense Port on a HYDROS device (like the Control XS, X2, X4, X10, etc.) and does not require any additional power source. The HYDROS Water Level Sensor contains no moving parts that can fail. The optical eye is magnetically coupled with the magnet side measuring only 1/4" thick. It can be mounted to most clear, tinted, or painted surfaces up to 1/2" thick. The sensor operates in the daytime or complete darkness so it's safe for use hidden inside your aquarium stand or in the back chambers of an all-in-one aquarium. The sensors are easy to place, easy to move, and easy to clean.
Specifications
Diameter: 0.75"
Sensor: 0.75" thick
Magnet Mount: 0.25" thick
Cord length: 75"
Max Mounting Thickness: 1/2"
For freshwater and saltwater aquariums
The HYDROS Water Level Sensor uses a GX12 aviation-style connector so that the Control can maintain its IP65 rating (dust-tight and protected from water spray at any angle).
When the water level in the sump or aquarium drops below theLOW LEVEL (3) on the sensor, it will fill the water till it reachesNORMAL LEVEL (2)SAFETY LEVEL SENSOR (1) is a backup to shut down the feed pump in case of a malfunction; in this case, an alarm can be triggered.
The HYDROS Skimmer Sensor serves a very specific and important role: it prevents your protein skimmer from overflowing onto the floor or back into your sump.The way it works is easy: just place the sensor inside any protein skimmer collection cup up to 1/4" thick. There is a magnetic coupling that will sit on the outside of the skimmer cup to keep the sensor securely in place. Once the waste level in the collection cup rises to the point it makes contact with the sensor, it will tell HYDROS to turn the protein skimmer off to prevent overflowing. Your protein skimmer must be plugged into a HYDROS power source, like the Power 4 power strip or Smart Plug, for this sort of skimmer security to operate.The HYDROS Skimmer Sensor plugs into any HYDROS Sense Port and does not require any additional power supply. The optical eye on this sensor is designed to be used inside the collection cup of a protein skimmer, so it's a little different than a standard water level sensor - but purpose-built for this specific and important application. The sensor contains no moving parts that can fail. It's extremely tiny: it's a little over a half-inch thick with a circumference the size of a US penny. The optical eye is magnetically coupled with the magnet side measuring only 1/4" thick. The cord is on the magnet side so installation is easy. You don't need to purchase a new lid for your skimmer or modify the collection cup in any way.The HYDROS Skimmer Sensor is an Official HYDROS Accessory manufactured by AutoAqua in Taiwan. Creators of the Smart ATO Micro, AutoAqua is one of the most well-known and trusted makers of aquarium automation systems in the hobby today. CoralVue has thoroughly tested the Skimmer Sensor to ensure seamless compatibility with the HYDROS platform. The product development team at CoralVue engineered the sensor so it connects with any HYDROS Sense Port using its aviation-style plug for safe operation. No additional power source is needed to run the sensor. Keep skimmate in the cup and not in the sump with the HYDROS Skimmer Sensor.HYDROS Water Level Sensor Specs Size: Diameter - 0.75" Sensor - 0.55" thick Magnet Mount - 0.25" thick Max Mounting Thickness: 1/4" No Moving Parts Magnetic Attachment Purpose-built to be placed inside the collection cup of a protein skimmer.

Neptune Flow Monitoring Kit (FMK)
Overview
Start monitoring the flow in your aquarium with the Neptune Systems FMK (Flow Monitoring Kit).
FMM FLUID MONITORING MODULE IT DOES SO MUCH!
The FMM (Fluid Monitoring Module) is a multi- purpose module that, with the help of various accessories, enables your Apex to do:
Flow Monitoring
Leak Detection
Water Level Detection
Power 24VDC accessories
Future sensors
FMK Flow Sensors
Return Pump: Measuring the flow of your aquarium's main return pump is an incredibly useful piece of information. The key benefit would be to have the Apex notify you the instant the flow stops for any reason - usually the result of a failed or faulty pump. Furthermore, an indication of a reduced flow rate could be used to determine that the pump or the lines are dirty or are becoming clogged with algae, debris, animals, or the growth of organisms inside your plumbing.Auxiliary pumps on reactors and the like: This is a very handy application for the FMM. Place a flow sensor on a device like a carbon/gfo/biopellet reactor and it serves many purposes. First off, you will know if your pump is not flowing correctly or failed altogether. Next, you can easily fine-tune the flow into the reactor by watching the dashboard tile on your Apex. Finally, you can know when the reactor is becoming clogged with detritus or possibly channeling has occurred by an alert on your Apex or by monitoring your dashboard. Put a flow sensor inline to your device, plug it in to the FMM, and see exactly the flow rate of the water (any aquarium fluid really) going through that sensor. The industrial-grade flow sensors use either a turbine or paddle-wheel mechanism (depending on the model) to measure the flow. It is important to note that the flow rate that will be reported back to you from the flow sensors will likely be far lower than you expect or what is printed on the pump label or documentation. This is due to head pressure loss from physical height differences, long runs, restrictions such as ball valves, fittings like elbows, tees, and reducers, and then finally the loc-line many use as the entry point into their tanks. As an example, a pump rated at 3200gph will likely be showing less than half that amount in nearly all applications.Four Ports: The FMK comes with three flow sensors but the FMM has a total of four ports. This means you have one port free to use for another purpose. Buy additional flow sensors (available also in 2" and 1/4" sizes) or choose from other options available and add even more functionality!Each Neptune FMK includes following items
1 - FMM (Fluid Monitoring Module) - is a module that connects to any Apex (Apex(2016), Apex Classic, Apex Lite, Apex Jr.) - via it's AquaBus port providing four multi-function monitoring ports that can be used for flow sensors, water-level sensors, leak detection sensors and possibly future products as well.
1 - 1" Flow Sensor - This flow sensor connects to the FMM, monitors the flow of water through the device, and then reports it back to your Apex via the FMM. This sensor is most often used to measure the flow in the main return line of a standard-sized aquarium.
2 - 1/2" Flow Sensors - This flow sensor connects to the FMM, monitors the flow of water through the device, and then reports it back to your Apex via the FMM. Two of these are included in the FMK. These sensors are perfect for attaching to devices such as media reactors, biopellet reactors, etc.
2 - 1" Unions - To connect your FS-100 Flow sensor, we have included in the FMK, two 1BSPT -> 1Slip PVC Unions. (North American markets only)
4 - 1/2" Adapters - To connect your two FS-50 Flow sensors, we have included in the FMK, two 1/2BSPT -> 1/2Slip PVC Adapters.(North American markets only)
Neptune AquaBus Cable - 3 Foot Male/Male
Overview
3 Foot Male/Male Neptune Apex AquaBus cable.
Used to connect an AquaBus module (PM1, EB8, etc) to another AquaBus Module or Apex base unit.
Neptune 24V Power Supply
Overview
Replacement power supply for any 24V Neptune Apex product.
This includes the GRO LED lights, PMUP pumps, solenoid valves, etc.
The HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve is a handy HYDROS Control 2 and Control 4 accessory that provides easy on/off RO or RO/DI water flow. You can connect the solenoid to your reverse osmosis filter and use it to top-off your tank if you don't have the room available for a separate ATO reservoir.The HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve works in conjunction with a HYDROS aquarium controller and an optical or mechanical water level sensor. When the sensor detects the water level is low, it opens the valve to allow fresh RO or RO/DI water to flow through and top-off your tank or sump. When the sensor senses that the water level is replenished, it will tell the Control 2 or Control 4 to shut off power to the solenoid. This closes the valve to stop the flow of reverse osmosis water. The HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve should be connected to the product line coming off your reverse osmosis system. It has 1/4" push-connect fittings to insert standard RO tubing quickly and easily.Instead of using the HYDROS DC Micro Pump as your ATO pump, you can use the HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve instead. Just plug it into a Drive Port on the Control 2 or Control 4 for power and control and configure in the HYDROS app. It is recommended to install an auto-shutoff valve and check valve on your reverse osmosis system to prevent it from producing wastewater when the solenoid is closed.The HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve is an Official HYDROS Accessory manufactured by AutoAqua in Taiwan. Creators of the Smart ATO Micro, AutoAqua is one of the most well-known and trusted makers of ATO systems in the aquarium hobby today. CoralVue has thoroughly tested the DC Solenoid Valve to ensure seamless compatibility with the HYDROS platform. The product development team at CoralVue engineered the solenoid so it connects with a Drive Port on the controller using an aviation-style plug for safer operation. No additional power source is needed to run the solenoid.HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve Specs Max Pressure: 120 PSI The HYDROS DC Solenoid Valve uses a GX12 aviation-style connector so the Control 2 and Control 4 maintain their IP65-rating (dust-tight and protected from water spray at any angle). Powered and controlled by plugging into a Drive Port on the HYDROS Control 2 or Control 4. No additional power cord is required. Manufactured by AutoAqua, an official HYDROS Technology Partner.
Hydros Wave Engine v2
Overview
A single app controls a variety of different pumps from your mobile device. Access all the features you desire, without the need for multiple apps, individual controllers, and bulky power supplies that require a "bird's nest" of cables and wires.
Simplifies way we manage flow within our reef aquariums
Until now, limited capabilities have restricted the simple controllers that manage popular pumps like the Maxspect Gyre, Reef Octopus Octo Pulse, TUNZE Turbelle nanostream, and EcoTech VorTech flow pumps. In addition to this convenient and advanced control, you can reduce clutter by eliminating the DC power brick used by modern controllable pumps!
Direct Pump Driver - For many pumps, the HYDROS WaveEngine connects directly to the pump head removing the clutter of the power brick and the control head for these pumps. Maxspect Gyre XF-130 / 230, XF-150 / 250, XF-330 / 350, XF-280*IceCap Gyre 1K, 3K, 2K, 4KReef Octopus RODC-2500, 3500 and 5500, VarioS-2 and 4, Octo Pulse 2 and 4
0-10V Control - Some pumps do not lend themselves to direct drive control due to cabling or other restrictions, but many of these pumps do offer 0-10V controllability. The HYDROS WaveEngine supplies four independent 0-10V outputs to control these pumps. Abyzz PumpsReef Octopus Octo Pulse 2 and 4, VarioS 2, 4, 6 and 8, RODC 2500, 3500 and 5500TUNZE Turbelle nanostream pumps.
Wireless Control - EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps can be controlled using their wireless slave mode so you will no longer need multiple devices to control the most popular flow pump on the market. Better yet, you can make them work in conjunction with most any other brand of controllable powerheads. EcoTech VorTech MP10WQD, MP40WQD and MP60WQD*RF MODULE REQUIRED - not included/supplied by Coralvue at this time.
Control up to 8 WiFi Devices - The new WaveEngine v2 can control up to eight WiFi devices for added modular control on equipment like lights, pumps, feeders, and more by simply adding a HYDROS WiFi Power Strip or HYDROS Smart Plug (both sold separately).
Here's what Version 2 can do...
The HYDROS App from CoralVue will completely replace the need for individual manual controllers and apps. By using modern technology, we can easily tap into the native control platform to access all the pre-set flow patterns and modes or create your own! Connect wirelessly to the HYDROS WaveEngine and then communicate with your flow pumps.
Features
Easily add pumps and specify the location of the pump in the aquarium as well as specify min & max speed a pump can run at
Use different brand pumps to work together in different flow pre-set such as sync, anti-sync, triangle wave, square wave, sine wave as well as many other pre-set wave patterns
Create multiple groups
Create and access operational modes such as Feed, Water Change, or Night mode
Monitor power consumption (volts, amps & watts) based on individual pumps & total consumption of all attached pumps
Monitor pump's RPM to ensure maximum performance
EcoTech Vortech pump compatible
Full cloud connectivity so you can control your pumps from anywhere in the world
Real-time notifications of system status & pump performance
Define custom flow patterns of any duration up to 24 hours with 1/1000 second accuracy
Power up to 4 pumps with the Direct Drive ports using a single 100/240V 2.5 amp input power supply (included). The output is 24V/6 amps.
Broad CompatibilityMake pumps from different manufacturers work together to provide a single, integrated flow management system. You can now use a VorTech MP40WQD at one end of your tank and a Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 4 at the other end of the tank and have them work together simultaneously, opposite each other or completely different. Best of all, it isn't limited to two pumps! Add a Maxspect Gyre into the pattern if you want too. Do you have a controllable return pump or skimmerBring them to the party because the HYDROS WaveEngine will control them too! Clutter ReductionThe clutter of power bricks, cables and controllers is becoming an increasing problem for reef keepers. The four pump driver outputs on the HYDROS WaveEngine replace the pump controller, power supplies and any necessary external wireless control modules. Best of all, the HYDROS WaveEngine can run four pumps off a single power supply! Needless to say, it is easy to install. Simply toss out your existing power supplies and controllers, connect the HYDROS WaveEngine and you're ready to start moving water. 0-10V INPUT ControlControl any pump via variable speed INPUT. Unlike other controllers that require intricate programming on pumps connected via 0-10V, the HYDROS WaveEngine allows 0-10V INPUT connected Pumps to take full advantage of all native flow modes and pre-sets without complicated coding.Reverse Pump DriveSome pumps can provide additional pattern options by running in reverse. For example, the Reef Octopus Octo Pulse 4 changes from a highly directed flow to a gentle broad push if you run it in reverse. The HYDROS WaveEngine allows you to take advantage of Reverse Drive to further increase the available flow patterns.Cross Engine SynchronizationMultiple HYDROS WaveEngines can be used to control even larger number of pumps and the patterns will remain perfectly synchronized. A pump connected to HYDROS WaveEngine "A" will run in perfect synchronization with a pump connected to HYDROS WaveEngine "B".Remote AccessA FREE and easy to use iOS and Android compatible app allows you to control everything including flow modes, schedules, pump configuration, as well as monitor performance. You will have no problem with connection because the app can run in cloud mode or local mode. Cloud mode allows you to communicate with your HYDROS WaveEngine when an internet connection is available. The HYDROS WaveEngine system is part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Internet of Things (IoT) platform, guaranteeing high security and reliability. Local control gives you the option of direct access to your control settings in the event your internet connection is unavailable. No matter your situation, the HYDROS WaveEngine will work to keep your tank alive! Real-Time Monitoring and NotificationsYou can set up text message alerts and/or emails to be notified if a pump is blocked or disconnected. If total power failure takes place at your home, bringing down your entire tank and internet connection, you will still be notified via email or text. Do your pumps ever get dirty and drop in performanceThe HYDROS WaveEngine will monitor the power being consumed by each pump along with its shaft RPM and will notify you if the pump's performance is suffering and may require maintenance. Maxspect Gyre 280 pumps can only run at 75% max intensity.PLEASE NOTE: An appropriate pump adapter or 0-10V cable (sold separately) is required to connect pumps directly to the HYDROS WaveEngine.

Neptune Apex 1Link Module
Neptune 1LINK Easy, one-click installation!
Overview
The WAV is the first of a line of aquarium products from Neptune Systems that will use a completely new interface. While many in the aquarium world continue to embrace wireless technologies for interconnectivity, we have decided to go the other direction - a wire.
Wireless connectivity from your smartphone or tablet to your Apex (or other controller) is completely logical - and we embrace that. However, wireless used for the interconnecting of devices within the confines of common aquariums (that are mostly less than 6' long) is not only unnecessary, but it reduces reliability.
Our philosophy is that when distances are measured in a few feet, wireless is a solution looking for a problem. And ironically, wireless really does not save wires. You still need to use a wire to get power to the devices anyway. And let's not forget configuration - wireless devices require syncing, endless button presses and arcane steps to get them to connect up - hopefully with you and not your neighbor.
Finally for all this "benefit", you as the consumer get the added cost of this wireless technology that must be baked into the price of every device you buy. So after much study of the problem, our answer is 1LINK.
It is called 1LINK because there is one power supply, one module (for up to three 1LINK devices), and a one-click-connection of a wire that carries not only the power for the device, but two-way communication from it to your Apex. Setup is simply click and go.
Less wires, less configuration headaches, and best of all, less cost to you as a consumer!

Neptune Flow Sensor - 1/2 Inch
Overview
The Neptune Systems FS-50 Flow Sensor is designed to be used with the Flow Monitoring Module (FMM).
Usually used with aquarium accessories like reactors, carbon/GFO filters, etc., this flow sensor can be placed in line with the flow on any pipe, connected to the FMM, and communicate to your Apex the flow rate of water through that pipe.
The flow sensor itself uses BSPP threads so for North American customers we have included two specially designed PVC adapters with slip fittings to adapt it to standard 1/2PVC plumbing.
The FS-50 will work with flow rates from 30-250 gph.
The HYDROS Temperature Sensor is an easy and affordable way to prevent your aquarium water from becoming too cold or too hot. It monitors the water temperature in your aquarium so you can keep it within the safe zone for fish, coral, and inverts. The sensor plugs into any Sense Port on a HYDROS device (like the Control 2 or Control 4) and does not require any additional power source.The way it works is easy: just place the sensor inside your aquarium or sump. It can be mounted to surfaces up to 1/2" thick. There is a magnetic coupling that will sit outside your tank or sump to keep the sensor securely in place. You can configure the HYDROS app so that if the water temperature is higher than 82F or lower than 78F (for example), it can send you a mobile alert to let you know. You can also set it up so that outlets that have a heater, chiller, or fan plugged into them turn off when the temperature is outside the safe zone. Your heating and cooling equipment must be plugged into a HYDROS power source, like the Power 4 power strip or Smart Plug, for this sort of automation to occur.The HYDROS Temperature Sensor contains no moving parts that can fail. It's extremely tiny: it's a little over a half-inch thick with a circumference the size of a US penny. The magnet side measures only 1/4" thick. The sensor is easy to place, easy to move, and easy to clean. It provides peace of mind that your aquarium water temperature will never drift outside optimal ranges for aquatic life.The HYDROS Temperature Sensor is an Official HYDROS Accessory manufactured by AutoAqua in Taiwan. Creators of the Smart ATO Micro, AutoAqua is one of the most well-known and trusted makers of aquarium automation systems in the hobby today. CoralVue has thoroughly tested the Temperature Sensor to ensure seamless compatibility with the HYDROS platform. The product development team at CoralVue engineered the sensor so it connects with any HYDROS Sense Port using its aviation-style plug for safe operation. No additional power source is needed to run the sensor.
