Hydra MTS is a multi tank aquarium monitoring system designed for people with more than just a few tanks. There are many fine systems out there for single tank owners but when we asked them if it could be expanded all they could offer was a discount on many single units.
Hydra, from the many headed monster, is designed from the ground up to be massively expandable. It consists of 3 main parts, the Main controller, sensors and smart outlets. Once you buy the main controller you just pick and choose the parts you want for each tank. We are constantly developing and refining our offerings to ensure the best value for our customers.

Alerts and Actions.
Once a sensor is installed you set the alerts, for temp it would be high and low. Then you set the action associated with the alert. If high temperature exceed, it turns off heater, send text message.
All systems can be easily expanded to full capability just by adding additional components
Perfect for someone who wants to start with one tank
Includes:
Hydra-MTS controller and software
1 temperature sensor.
Optional sensors and smart outlets can be added to the basic setup.
Hydra-MTS system is based on building blocks and can be expanded to hundreds of tanks with only the capabilities you want for each tank.
To keep costs in check we use off the shelf hardware and sensors. Only the software is custom. We will even tell you where we get it if you want to buy it direct.
You buy only the parts you need, temp in one tank, PH in another, you set up your system to match your needs.
We want to watch our tanks from anywhere. We have a cloud view that allows complete access anywhere.
Sign up for cloud services and when we come out with a new feature you get it, you may need some extra hardware of course.
Power surge wipe out your electronics? With cloud services all your settings and history are stored in the cloud so we can get you back up and running asap.
Compared to the other best in class solutions our cost per tank goes down as you expand.
For $2/mo (billed annually) you get:
SMS alarm notifications
Automatic software upgrades
Remote configuration backup
Remote troubleshooting and fault detection
First access to new capabilities before the general public
Yes we hate cloud charges too, but it costs us money to have these available, although they are very nice features your system runs fine without them.
We are seeking a limited number of beta testers to give us their thoughts on our new system
