Abstract

In today's generation, there is a growing desire among many people to engage in fish cultivation and maintain their aquariums. However, maintaining and cleaning aquarium tanks require careful attention and effort from the fish keepers. Along with the responsibilities of physically changing the water in the tank, feeding the fish, and cleaning the aquarium, it is important to adhere to certain limitations and ensure the well-being of the aquatic pets. To address these challenges, ground-breaking research has introduced a real-time operating system equipped with a range of sensors and driver modules. This innovative system revolutionizes aquarium management by automating essential tasks such as cleaning the aquarium, changing the water in the fish tank, and feeding the fish. Incorporating components like servo motors, stepper motors, a microcontroller, and driver modules, significantly reduces the human effort traditionally required for aquarium care. With the implementation of these advanced technologies, an automated aquarium offers a heightened level of control, accuracy, and dependability in maintaining the living environment for aquatic animals. This not only enhances the health and well-being of the fish but also provides fish keepers with a more convenient and efficient approach to aquarium maintenance. Moreover, the automation of feeding processes ensures that the fish are provided with precise portions of food at regular intervals. This feature eliminates the risk of overfeeding or underfeeding, promoting the overall health and growth of the aquatic pets. Promoting a healthier and more stable environment ultimately enhances the well-being of the fish, providing a gratifying experience for aquarium enthusiasts in today's generation.
