The HYDROS Control Launch by CoralVue is an all-in-one starter controller for the HYDROS system. Straight out of the box it measures pH and temperature, controls four 120V AC outlets, and manages up to eight WiFi devices. Add accessories and it also detects leaks, monitors water level, tracks salinity, doses, and powers 12V HYDROS devices — making it a genuine one-box entry point into aquarium automation for saltwater, freshwater, and pond setups.

Frequently asked questions
What can the Launch do out of the box? Monitor pH and temperature, control its four AC outlets, and manage eight WiFi devices — no add-ons needed to get started.
What can I add later? Leak detection, water-level monitoring, salinity tracking, dosing, and 12V device control, thanks to its Sense, Drive, and probe ports.
Is the Launch a good first controller? Yes — it's designed as the ideal starting point for aquarists new to aquarium control, with room to grow into a full HYDROS system. For maximum sensing and 0–10V pump control, compare the Control X4.
