Every piece of equipment plugged into a power strip that isn't individually controllable is a piece of equipment you can't schedule, monitor, or automate on its own. The HYDROS Control XP8 by CoralVue is a smart, eight-outlet 120V AC power bar and full aquarium controller in one, giving every plugged-in device its own independent control.
Why Individually Controlled Outlets Matter
A standard power strip is all-or-nothing — every device on it turns on and off together. Real automation means being able to schedule a return pump, dose a supplement, and run a heater on completely independent schedules, which requires outlets that can be controlled one at a time rather than as a group.
What the XP8 Offers
- Eight individually controlled outlets, each schedulable and automatable through the HYDROS app.
- Full controller functionality built in, not just a dumb power strip with app control bolted on.
- Pairs naturally with the X3 or X4 as the power-and-automation half of a complete monitor-and-control system — it's the second half of both the X3 Pro Pack and X4 Pro Pack bundles.
Who It's For
- Tanks running more equipment than a basic controller's outlets can handle — return pumps, heaters, dosing pumps, UV sterilizers, and more all on independent schedules.
- Keepers upgrading an existing X3 or X4 setup who need more controllable outlets than the base unit provides on its own.
