Aquarium Monitor Kit: TDS, Turbidity, Temp with Arduino
Build an Aquarium Water Quality Monitor with Arduino - TDS, Turbidity & Temperature
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Your aquarium's health depends on invisible water parameters - dissolved solids, clarity, and temperature. This kit lets you build a real-time monitoring system that scores TDS, turbidity, and temperature on an OLED display and classifies water as Safe, Marginal, or Unsafe, so you can act before your fish show distress.
What You'll Build
A fully functional water quality monitoring device that continuously reads three critical parameters and displays a clear safety classification. You'll assemble the sensor array, wire the Arduino, and code a smart classification algorithm - all in one afternoon. The result is a compact, battery-powered unit that can sit beside any aquarium and give you peace of mind.
What You'll Learn
- Integrating analog sensors (TDS, turbidity) and a digital temperature sensor with Arduino
- Reading and displaying multiple sensor values on a 0.96-inch OLED screen in real time
- Implementing decision logic to classify water safety based on combined sensor data
- Troubleshooting real-world sensor noise and calibration for aquarium environments

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students working on sensor-based physics or computer science projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-year students exploring embedded systems, and ATL Tinkering Lab innovators designing smart aquariums. It's also perfect for hobbyists who want to monitor their home aquarium with a custom Arduino solution that gives real-time health updates.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to start a chat with your AI companion, or message us on WhatsApp - we walk you through the issue step by step.
Does this kit include the actual aquarium, or just the electronics?
Only the electronics and sensors are included; you supply the aquarium and water for testing.
Can I modify the code to set my own safe/marginal/unsafe thresholds?
Yes, the AI companion will help you adjust the classification logic in the Arduino sketch to match your specific fish or plant requirements.
Will the sensors work submerged in water continuously?
The DS18B20 is fully waterproof; the TDS and turbidity probes are designed for immersion but we recommend periodic cleaning to maintain long-term accuracy.
Aquarium - TDS + turbidity + temperature combined. Score all three on OLED and classify water as safe, marginal or unsafe.
