Hello fellow Keepers

Hope everyone is safe and e housing the hobby. Reason I created this post is to get / discuss some ideas to incorporate some AI / intelligence to the systems we run our aquarium on.

If someone has some so please share. There are lots of intelligent smart switches and other items are available off Amazon. How to use them efficiently etc.

Any automatic water changing ideas or lighting or Filteration etc.

Please share discuss for the betterment of the make benefit of glorious nation of monster fish keepers

So for me I have lights and 2 water pumps on smart switches. I scheduled the times for light so they are not on|off for long hours. These smart switches are fully automated plus if I need to manually operate I have access through my cell phone.

Now for water pumps i run them after couple of hours when I feed the fish. I have set the water flow direction in a way that extra food, poop, waste get sucked in to the filter. Automation is very similar to lights.

Now thinking of doing some automatic water changes but not quite sure yet but on it.

Just buy an Apex or Hydros Control 2 or Control 4. For water changes, I just ran a water line with prefilter to my tank and created an overflow drain this way there is a 24/7 drip.
