Aquaponics-A Smart Automated Feedback Control Process for Cultivation

We report here a smart automated aquaponic approach for cultivation. In this system, fish cultivation is done in a fish tank, and crops are grown hydroponically in a plant container chamber. The unusable product from the fish-containing bucket is furnished to the plant container chamber. STC1000 and XH-W3005 modules are used in the system to supervise the temperature and humidity in the plant container chamber respectively. In addition, a turbidity measuring device and a pH measuring device are used in the fish bucket to measure the purity and pH value of water inside the bucket with fish. Furthermore, an ultrasonic sensor is used at the top of the fish bucket to control the level of water. Finally, the growth of the plant is observed in the automated recirculating water process with a feedback control environment. The suggested automated system is helpful in growing both fish and small plants like vegetables within a limited space.
