Introduction

Problem Statement:

Many home owners have aquatic pets of certain kinds either for asthetic reasons or out of genuine compassion of the animals. The living conditions, temperature and environment of the tank hosting the aqautic creatures must be optimal to ensure their wellbeing and the creatures are living optimally. In many cases the owners of these pets want the wellbeing and happiness of their pets. However, in certain circumstances it may be tough for them to provide the optimal care due to them not having the sufficent knowledge and/or time to care for them. Certain fish species or "aquatic creatures" have very strict paramters for an optimal life to ensure their wellbeing such as a certain water temperature, or specific water PH levels or alkanlity level or ammonia presence in the water. Our proposed solution is to create a device that montors the temperature of a fish tank alongside PH level, alkanlity level or ammonia presence with the usage of certain sensors and this device also informs the user if something is of issue and proposes solutions to solve this.

Objectives:

The objectives of our device are that:

- It should be waterproof to ensure it can be submerged in water / survive splashes of water if it is placed outside the water

- It should continuously check for imbalances in the environment

- It should be able to connect to a database server where all data is sent as well as any detected issues (inbalances in the environment)

- It should inform the user via an app if there is an issue detected (high or low PH level, instable water temperature, ammonia presence in the water)

- The user should be able to set the optimal environment paramters for the aquarium (with initial recommendations for new users)

- It should also informt the user of potential solutions for the issue

- Once the user fixes the problem, the app should ensure the environment is optimal

Automated Monitoring System for the Fish Farm Aquaculture Environment

(https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Debabrata-Bej/post/Can-someone-recommend-a-good-article-on-sensor-networks-applied-to-monitoring-a-fish-farm/attachment/5f6ed9ade66b860001a46443/AS%3A939896537612289%401601100205417/download/07379340.pdf)

The paper introduces a method for fish farmers to actively control their farm. They introduce a problem of waste, unnecessarily created by a lack of monitoring their fish. The waste can be reduced by actively tracking the fish and feeding when needed. They also state that, for optimal farming, the conditions in such a tank should be kept at certain rates. The team establishes a device to monitor the data acquired, using simple but accurate sensors. They describe a way to measure the most important values and how they created a system available for the user. They create a software program that runs on android devices to give the farmers access to the results, and create a space where the farmers can change certain values based on the fish their needs. The paper doesn’t specifically state for which levels the system is made, and what would be optimal for certain species. The energy management of the system is very efficient, and because of the WIFI implementation they created an accessible system.

Design and implementation of a smart monitoring system for water quality of fish farms

(https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nahla-Alchalaby/publication/333356582_Design_and_implementation_of_a_smart_monitoring_system_for_water_quality_of_fish_farms/links/5cf175dca6fdcc8475fb7cc3/Design-and-implementation-of-a-smart-monitoring-system-for-water-quality-of-fish-farms.pdf)

The paper focusses on the creation of a monitoring system for fish farms. The authors try to give real time information to the farmer via a mobile app. They see the rapid change in the health and agriculture sector towards a fully monitored and perfected system. The authors use an Arduino UNO and a pH and temperature sensor to monitor the values in the tanks. The user can use his phone with a Bluetooth connection to connect and get the real time information on their mobile device. There are some major improvements that could be made compared to this project. The information is quite limited and could be extended on. Also we could try to implement a more autonomous system that does certain tasks like changing pH or giving food. The system could also be upgraded to be more up to date and accessible.
