Aquarium Temperature Monitor Kit
Arduino Aquarium Temperature Monitor Kit – Log Water Temp, Pressure & Wave Height
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Monitor your aquarium’s full environmental profile by logging water temperature from two depths, barometric pressure, and even wave motion—all saved to an SD card inside a sealed, waterproof enclosure. This advanced kit moves beyond simple readouts: you’ll build a rugged instrument that fuses sensor data, timestamps every reading with a real-time clock, and displays live values on an OLED. Whether you’re studying reef conditions or validating a college project, the hands-on experience of sealing electronics with cable glands and calibrating an IMU for wave height estimation prepares you for field-deployable sensing systems.
What You'll Build
A fully enclosed monitoring station capable of withstanding humid and splash-prone environments. Two waterproof DS18B20 probes measure water temperature at different positions, a BMP280 captures air pressure and altitude trends, and an MPU6050 accelerometer feeds into a wave-height estimation algorithm. All data is time-stamped by the DS3231 RTC and written to a MicroSD card, while a 0.96‑inch OLED shows real-time status. The circuitry and LiPo battery reside inside a waterproof enclosure with cable glands securing every sensor lead.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrating and interfacing digital temperature sensors over OneWire
- Reading barometric pressure via I2C from the BMP280
- Processing MPU6050 accelerometer data to estimate tilt and wave frequency
- Implementing timestamped data logging with DS3231 RTC and MicroSD

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE students, Smart India Hackathon teams, and makers from IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani who need to move beyond breadboard prototypes. The sealed enclosure and multi-sensor fusion challenge provide the engineering rigour expected in college projects and aquaculture monitoring builds. If you’re developing a reef-tank logger or an environmental assignment, this kit gives you the complete hardware and hands-on sealing practice that separate component lists cannot.
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 included in the box to launch the AI companion trained on this kit’s wiring and code. It accepts questions in plain English and can guide you step by step. WhatsApp and email help are also available for unique issues.
How do I ensure the enclosure stays waterproof after inserting cables?
The kit includes three cable glands precisely sized for the sensor wires. Follow the assembly cards to tighten them correctly; a thin smear of silicone grease (not included but easily sourced) adds an extra seal for long-term immersion experiments.
Can I power the unit for multi-day logging without USB?
Yes. The included 3.7V LiPo 2000mAh battery and TP4056 module provide standalone power. With the OLED dimmed and logging intervals of 5 minutes, the system can run over 48 hours on a full charge.
How accurate is the wave height estimation using the MPU6050?
The IMU provides relative tilt and acceleration data. The AI companion includes a calibration routine and filtering algorithm that estimates wave amplitude to within approximately ±1 cm in calm to moderate tank conditions, suitable for trend analysis and project demonstrations.
