:Abstract:- In modern days many people have fish as their pets in home. Everyone loves fishes and required aquarium for their home. But
maintaining aquarium is difficult task. We need to change water time by time, feed fishes time to time. Again it is difficult to check the
conditions of an aquarium manually. Therefore it important to automate aquariums. Here we have implement an IOT based system which
monitor and control the whole aquarium automatically and provide real time status on user’s Smartphone application. It contai ns water
quality management in which It will monitor the physical changes in the water and will maintain it to the ideal conditions, with required
changes. The aquarium will perform all the steps automatically like temperature control, turbidity level control, light monit or, feeding,
water renewal etc. It will reduce the manual effort required in maintenance of aquariums by automating the aquarium management
process. also automatic food feeding system operated by servo motor mechanism which used to feed fishes on regular time inter vals.
Dead fish mechanism is there which will detect the dead fish. In addition camera is connected to aquarium system using which user can
see live operation occurring in system with the help of smart phone. The aim of our project is to replace manual maintenance of fish
aquarium with an Automated system by using IOT.
Keywords: Internet of Things, Sensors, Arduino Platform, Aquarium Controller by using Smartphone.

difficult to maintain aquarium for working people.
Unacceptable changes in the levels of water parameter
values affect the life of aquatic animals. This motivated
us to build a system which automates the manual work to
maintain the aquarium with minimum persons required
using internet technology. So we design automatic system
that maintains fishes needs like food, water impurity, and
cleaning of aquarium.

In our system microcontroller ATMega328 is centralize unit
of system. It is a three port device each port having 8 input
and output pins. It is interface with all other devices in our
system such as, Oxygenator- it is use to maintain proper
oxygen level to whole aquarium.
Temperature sensor -it is a water proof temperature
sensor and will use to sense the temperature of water. Figure:- Oxygenator of water
Food controller- will provide necessary amount of food to
the fishes.
Battery -We will use in absence of main power supply.
Water level sensor- is use to control water level while
changing the water of aquarium.
