Abstract
Aquascaping is an art to form a natural aquatic environment in an aquarium by organizing aquatic plants, rocks, and driftwood. In aquascaping, we require a system that can maintain the aquascape environment for the plants to grow well. One thing that needs to be maintained in aquascape environment is the temperature required by plants. In this study, a system that consist of heater and fan cooler as the main devices will be developed to maintain the temperature. In this system an android smartphone application was also developed to help users adjust the required temperature for the aquacscape environment. The development of this system aims to provide appropriate temperature for specific types of plants used in the aquarium. The temperature controller system developed in this research is part of the research on the aquascape environmental treatment. The system developed has been successfully maintain the temperature according to the temperature needed by the plants with 100% successfully maintain the temperature within the range set up. The system being developed can also 100% successfully turn on / off the heater and fan cooler according to the specified settings.
