Not every piece of aquarium equipment runs on 120V AC — small 12V devices like solenoids, fans, and low-voltage pumps need their own kind of controlled power. The HYDROS Control XD by CoralVue is built specifically to power and manage those smaller 12V devices within the HYDROS ecosystem.
Why 12V Devices Need Their Own Controller
Standard controller outlets are typically built around 120V AC equipment. Smaller 12V devices — CO2 solenoids, some fans, low-voltage accessories — need dedicated, appropriately-rated ports rather than being awkwardly adapted to an AC-focused controller.
What the Control XD Offers
- Three Universal Drive Ports that supply switched 12V power to compatible devices.
- Full HYDROS app integration, scheduling and automating 12V equipment the same way larger controllers manage AC devices.
- Compact, focused design for keepers who specifically need 12V device control rather than a full monitoring suite.
Who It's For
- Tanks running CO2 solenoids, small fans, or other 12V equipment that a standard AC-focused controller doesn't cleanly support.
- Keepers expanding an existing HYDROS system who need dedicated 12V ports alongside their main controller.
