An automated power of hydrogen controlled filtration system for enhanced aquarium fish farming
Abstract
The increasing popularity of fish keeping in aquariums and the need for electronic equipment to maintain an optimal environment. This article focuses on monitoring water purity to ensure fish health and longevity, addressing the issue of water pollution caused by chemicals and waste produced by fish. Solutions such as mechanical and biological filters are explored, highlighting the use of the mechanical filter composed of zeolite, ceramic rings, and activated carbon, which work to remove solid particles, toxic compounds, and pollutants from the aquarium water. The article presents the implementation of a mechanical filter controlled by a PIC18F4550 microcontroller using a pH sensor. The results indicate the stability of the pH of the water in the established range of 6.5 to 7.5, with a maximum error of 3% at the upper limit of the range and no error below the established lower limit. It is concluded that the system effectively maintains the desired levels and ensures the fish's health. A technological solution for monitoring and controlling water quality is presented, recognizing the possibility of improvements in aquaculture.
