Aquatronica Touch Basic Kit Aquarium Controller System

The Aquatronica Touch Basic Kit Aquarium Controller Systemis an aquarium management system that allows you to monitor and control various water parameters and equipment for one or more freshwater or saltwater tanks. The kit is built around a control unit with a 7-inch colour touch screen and includes essential sensors to get you started. 

Benefits & Features:

• Centralized control: Manage all connected equipment and monitor water parameters from a single 7-inch touch-screen interface.
• Multi-tank compatibility: The controller can simultaneously manage multiple aquariums, whether they are freshwater or saltwater.
• Expandability: The system is compatible with the full line of Aquatronica modules, interfaces, and accessories, allowing you to add more control and monitoring capabilities in the future.
• Automated functions: Allows for advanced programming of functions like timers for lights, wave effects, and alerts for out-of-range parameters.
• Connectivity: The controller includes an Ethernet connection, two USB ports, and an SD card reader. It is also compatible with a separate Wi-Fi key for internet connectivity.
• Remote access and alerts: With a network connection, you can manage the aquarium over the internet. The system can also be set up to send alarm and reporting emails.
• PC compatibility: The controller is compatible with both Windows and Apple operating systems. 

How it works:

An aquarium controller helps automate maintenance tasks and provides a layer of protection for your tank inhabitants. 

• Monitoring: The Aquatronica Touch Basic Kit continuously monitors essential water parameters like temperature and pH using the included probes.
• Control: The system uses a multi-outlet power bar to turn equipment on and off based on programmed settings. For example, you can set a heater to turn on when the temperature drops below a certain point.
• Alerts: If a parameter falls outside of your set range, the controller can sound a visual or audible alarm and send an email notification.
• Automation: The controller's advanced software can automate complex tasks such as a daily lighting schedule with special effects like wave simulation.
• Future expansion: As your needs grow, you can add more probes for parameters like salinity or ORP, or control other equipment like dosing pumps.
