The HYDROS Control XD by CoralVue is an aquarium controller built to power and manage small 12V devices. Its three Universal Drive Ports supply switched 12V DC to run cabinet LEDs, solenoids, ATO pumps, dosing pumps, cooling fans, and more — while continuously monitoring the exact current each device draws. It sets up in minutes and works as a standalone controller or as part of a larger HYDROS collective.
