Coral use Hydros and AI prime 16d

[UGASealDawg]

Anyone have advice for controlling AI prime 16s with Hydros?

New project/experiment on my 40 gal QT - current resident a new hybrid blue tang in for observation before going into main 200 gal system.

I have an Apex on the 200 but I am very new to Hydros.
I am experimenting to see what it can do. Any way to monitor salinity, Alk, Ca and Mg with Hydros?

I don't think you can control the 16 or any AI light. Can't monitor salinity yet but they say its on the list of stuff to do. for alk ca and mg there is the alkatronic and mastertronic that the hydros can link to and monitor and control.

The CoralVue Hydros cannot control or monitor the Ai Prime/Hydras, there is no 3rd party software or controller that currently allows you to do so. However, that doesn't mean that Hydros cant take that into account. If your AI Prime is on a Hydros Outlet or XP8, you can assign an overheat override to the device's outlet. So, if the tank gets over a certain threshold, say 82 degrees...you could have that outlet turn off, which would shut down the light and lower the heat.

As for automatic testing, Alkatronic and Mastertronic are the answers. They are extremely accurate and reliable, that is why Hydros entrusted them to do that job.
