SpaceEcho works with the Fish Farming and Technology Institute (FFII) in Egypt on a smart fish farming system. It measures pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total dissolved solids and temperature in the institute's tanks, and alerts the team when a reading leaves its range.
SpaceEcho works with the Fish Farming and Technology Institute (FFII) in Egypt on a smart fish farming system that monitors water quality in the institute's indoor fish tanks.

The challenge
Water quality in a fish tank can change quickly. A drop in dissolved oxygen or a shift in pH stresses the fish and, if it is missed, can lead to mass mortality. Manual checks leave long gaps between readings.
What we installed
Water quality probes — pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS) and temperature, measured continuously in the tanks.
Adjustable sampling rate — how often the station measures is set to suit the tank.
Instant alerts — when a reading leaves its set range, the team is alerted at once.
Reminders — for sensor maintenance and water changes.
Feeding support — tools that help plan feeding schedules from the water data.
The team sees live water quality on a tablet and is alerted before conditions turn harmful, so it can act early. This keeps the water healthy for fish growth and reduces the risk of mass mortality.
