- HYDROS Skimmer Sensor: Smart Protection from Protein Skimmer Overflows The HYDROS Skimmer Sensor is the kind of tool you don’t know you need—until your skimmer turns your sump into a saltwater smoothie. Built for reliability and simplicity, this little sensor helps prevent protein skimmer overflows before they turn into a cleanup nightmare. Whether you're running a nano tank or a full-blown reef beast, this sensor has your back. HYDROS Skimmer Sensor - Skimmer Cup Monitoring Made Simple This sensor controller accessory lives inside your skimmer’s collection cup, where it quietly keeps tabs on waste levels. Once the gunk starts rising, it sends a signal to shut things down—no mess, no fuss. Key Benefits: Internal Placement: Mounts neatly inside the skimmer cup using a magnetic base. No Moving Parts: Less risk of failure, more peace of mind. Cord-Free Control: Powered via HYDROS Control, so no extra outlets needed. IP65-Rated Build: Resists dust, humidity, and rogue splashes. How the HYDROS Skimmer Sensor Works Forget timers and manual check-ins. This sensor automates the skimmer shutdown process when waste levels rise too high. Step-by-Step: Mount the sensor inside the skimmer cup with its included magnetic holder. Connect it to a HYDROS Control 2 or Control 4 using a Sense Port. Once the waste level rises, the sensor sends a signal to power off the skimmer. You get a notification—before the cup turns into a geyser. Pro Tip: Make sure your skimmer is plugged into a HYDROS-controlled outlet for full automation.
