Problem Statement

Fish have very high standard when it comes to their living environment, if it is not perfect then the fish could face serious health issues. This is why owners are forced to pay a large amount of attention to their fish. As many know, fish live in an aquarium. An aquarium is a closed system, insulated to ensure a proper living environment. This environment is able to be kept healthy by utilizing features such as pumps and filters.  The aquarium is a simulation of an ecological environment, based on the requirements of the fish living inside of it. The Automated aquarium water changer has the ability to provide this function with very minimal work required from the consumer. This is done by monitoring the water conditions inside of the fish tank. Various sensors are used in this system in order to achieve this ecological environment. The turbidity sensor tip is put on the surface of the water to detect the cloudiness in water. And water level sensor can detect the water level inside the tank to prevent the water over injected. Finally, using the filter can keep filtering and cleaning the water which greatly improves the water quality at all times.
