Overview
In this article, we will learn how to monitor Aquarium Water Quality with TDS Sensor, Temperature Sensor, ESP32 WIFI Module & TFT LCD Display. An aquarium is a receptacle for maintaining aquatic organisms, either freshwater or marine, or a facility in which a collection of aquatic organisms is displayed or studied.
In a Smart Aquarium, it is necessary to monitor the water quality as well as automatic water changing and also automatic feeding. Water quality monitoring is the most complicated task as it requires the use of sensors and electronic equipment. The water quality parameters include Water pH, TDS, Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, etc. But for aquariums & aquatic life including fish, the most important parameter is the Water Temperature and TDS. For an aquarium, the temperature good range is 76° to 80°F (25° to 27°C). The 400PPM~450PPM TDS in the water are recommended for most freshwater fish living.
In this project, we will build our own Aquarium Water Quality Monitor System with TDS Sensor & ESP32. We will display the real-time value of Water TDS and Temperature on the TFT Color LCD Display. The informations related to TDS Sensor and DS18B20 Waterproof Temperature Sensor are already available on previous posts. The best thing about the project is the use of TFT LCD Display embedded with ESP32. The cutomized Display is designed by Makerfabs.

What is TDS & How it affects Fish Life?
The TDS value (Total Dissolved Solids) gives the sum of dissolved solids in water. These solids include for instance salts, minerals, and conductive metals ions. The value is additionally called the conductivity of the water. Because the more such solids or ions are within the water, the higher it conducts electricity.
TDS meters typically quantify this conductivity in micro siemens or ppm. The latter stands for parts per million, i.e. the number of solid particles per million water mixture particles. The value of 40 ppm means from a million particles there are 40 dissolved ions and therefore the rest (= 999 960) are water molecules.
How Does TDS Affect Fish & other Aquatic life?
The fishes need a stable environment that has the same level of TDS and PH as the original habit in aquariums or tanks. Different fishes require water with different TDS. 400PPM~450PPM TDS in the water are recommended for most freshwater fish living.
If the concentrations are too high, it would cause the death of fish and permit a high volume of algae bloom. The low level of TDS in the water will affect fish growth. In a word, if the TDS climbs above normal levels, you may need to help the small fish.
Gravity TDS Sensor
Gravity Analog TDS Sensor is an Arduino-compatible TDS sensor/Meter Kit for measuring TDS value of the water. It can be applied to domestic water, hydroponic and other fields of water quality testing. This product supports 3.3 ~ 5.5V wide voltage input, and 0 ~ 2.3V analog voltage output, which makes it compatible with 5V or 3.3V control systems or boards.
The excitation source is an AC signal, which can effectively prevent the probe from polarization and prolong the life of the probe, meanwhile, it can help increase the stability of the output signal. The TDS probe is waterproof, it can be immersed in water for long time measurement.
The sensor has a TDS Measurement Range between 0 ~ 1000ppm with an accuracy of 10% FS (25 ℃). The probe can not to be used in water above 55 degrees centigrade.
DS18B20 Waterproof Temperature Sensor
This is a pre-wired and waterproofed version of the DS18B20 Sensor used to measure something far away, or in wet conditions. The Sensor can measure the temperature between -55 to 125°C (-67°F to +257°F). The cable is jacketed in PVC. These 1-wire digital temperature sensors are fairly precise, i.e ±0.5°C over much of the range. They work great with any microcontroller using a single digital pin.
The sensor requires two libraries like Dallas Temperature Sensor Library & One-Wire Library. It also requires a 4.7k resistor, which is required as a pullup from the DATA to the VCC line when using the sensor. To learn more about this sensor you can go through the previous post: DS18B20 Sensor Tutorial.
Interfacing TDS & Temperature Sensor with ESP32
Now, let us interface the Gravity TDS Sensor & DS18B20 Temperature Sensor with ESP32 Board. The reason why we are using a temperature sensor is that the temperature parameter is required during TDS compensation. The TDS values change a lot with rising and falling in temperature.
Here is the simple connection diagram for the project.
Connect the TDS & Temperature Sensor VCC & GND Pin to ESP32 3.3V & GND Pin respectively. Connect the output analog pin of the TDS Sensor to ESP32 IO35 Pin. Similarly, connect the output of DS18B20 to ESP32 IO25 Pin. A 4.7K pull of resistor is necessary and requires a connection between the DS18B20 output pin & 3.3V VCC as a parasitic power.
You may assemble the components on a breadboard for testing purposes.
Source Code/Program
Here is a simple test code for testing the working of TDS Sensor & Temperature Sensor with ESP32. The DS18B20 temperature sensor requires a One-wire Library as well as Dallas Library.
Download these libraries and add them to the Arduino IDE library folder. Now, you can upload the following code to the ESP32 Board.

After uploading the code, open the Serial Monitor. Also, dip the TDS & Temperature Sensor probe in a water sample.
Observe the Serial Monitor, it will start displaying the reading of both temperature and TDS value.
The TDS Value can also be converted into EC Value & thus EC Meter with ESP32 can be designed for Drinking Water Quality Monitoring System.
Aquarium Water Quality Monitor with TDS Sensor & ESP32
Now lets add a display to the above project and build a display based portable Water TDS Meter. One of the best display that comes integrated with ESP32 & ILI9341 3.5″ TFT Touch Display.
The display can be very useful to monitor Aquarium Water Monitor for fish and other aquatic life. The connection diagram for the project is again simple as shown.
The connection for the GPIO Pins stills remains the same.
Source Code/Program
Let us use the ESP32 & LCD Screen along with TDS & Temperature sensor. The LCD Screen will display the value of temperature & TDS level in Gauge format.
The below code uses two files one as a .ino file and the other as a .h file.
Copy the following code and paste it on your Arduino IDE and save it in .ino format.

From the tool menu select the ESP32 Wrover Module and follow other options.
Connect the ESP32 Board with Type-C USB Cable and then upload the code.
Monitoring Aquarium TDS & Temperature
After uploading the code, press the rest button on ESP32 Board. You can now Monitor the Aquarium TDS & Temperature value in a beautiful widget.
For testing the sensor you can pour some salt into the liquid. Adding the salt will increase the TDS value rapidly. This is because salt is an ionic compound. Thus the salt solution is cable of increasing the conductivity of any solution.
You can use hot water to check the value of TDS as per temperature. When the temperature value increases the TDS value rises. This is because with the increase in temperature there is an increase in electrical conductivity.
At 21°C temperature, the TDS value was 344ppm but at 49°C, the TDS value reached to 404ppm.
For an aquarium, the temperature good range is 76° to 80°F (25° to 27°C). The 400PPM~450PPM TDS in the water is good for most freshwater fish living.

After upload the code and rts pin for hard reseting the TFT display, the display widget is not show in the display
Display is totally blank (white shown in color) no any thing is shown
Can you please solve this issue
How can this be implemented into a reef aquarium ? as the tds is much higher than this example
Un projecto increible
