Abstract

Many fish keepers cannot make any provision for feeding the fish because of their long vacation. Well-established aquariums tend to run on "auto-pilot" for longer periods of time when fish keepers are not around. The first stage in the project is to create the automatic lighting system that controlled by the user time setting. The fish keeper will set up the specified time of lights which need to be turn on and off using the relay. The second stage in the project is to display the water temperature in Celsius on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) after measuring the temperature by using temperature sensor. It features an alarm setting for the programmed aquarium high or low temperature range. The alarm will make the alert flash if the water temperature falls outside the chosen range. The third stage in the project is to design and develop the automatic feeder fish that controlled by the user time setting. The automated fish feeder can feed the fishes on the certain amount as needed, unlike available commercial fish feeders. It is better to approximate the right amount of the food and the regularity of the feeding first before fish keepers left home. The timer mechanism will slowly turns the plate or drum, sequentially dropping the food into the aquarium as each compartment passes over an opening under the plate or drum. Overall, this project will design and develop a friendly aquarium control system by using PIC.
