Abstract

The title of the project is Development of Microcontroller-Based Low Maintenance Tank for Mass Seaweed Culture. This project will discuss the parameters that influence seaweed growth. All these parameters refer to the basic requirements required by seaweed to achieve a good level of growth. The highlighted objective is the importance of a good monitoring system for seaweed tanks to ensure the continuity of seaweed growth while looking at the impact on seaweeds based on the parameters required by seaweeds for their growth through microcontroller systems and low maintenance systems. In addition, this study was conducted through the cultivation of selected seaweed species in a glass aquarium tank that has the parameters needed by seaweeds so that they can survive and grow like their real life in the seabed. Furthermore, the method used to complete this project is through the observation method. Seaweeds will grow on their own. Therefore, the weight of the seaweed will be taken and recorded on a weekly basis until the sixth week. This is because seaweed takes six weeks for it to reach a mature growth rate. In this study, the importance of monitoring the comprehensive parameters to the cultivation of seaweed in the tank will be identified. The main goal of this project is to build and provide a seaweed cultivation tank that offers a low level of maintenance. These tanks will be used to monitor the growth and enlargement of seaweeds, as well as coordinate the basic requirements needed by seaweeds to survive in the tank. Therefore, this can be realized through the use of microcontroller development methods. The findings show that these parameters are very important as factors that influence seaweed growth. In addition, the effect of these parameters on seaweed can also be identified. In conclusion, from the work of this course, the factors that influence the growth of seaweeds and the parameters they need to survive in the tank will be able to be identified.
