Abstract

Fish cultivation in tarpaulin ponds or Biofloc Technology (BFT) has been widely practiced by the community. Net fish production at BFT is 45% higher than at others. Tarpaulin ponds with a diameter of 1-2 meters (m) can be filled with 1,000-3,000 catfish seeds. The problem is that when fish farming runs for ± 1 month, the ammonia content in the pond begins to be felt, marked by an unpleasant odor in the pond water. Excessive ammonia content can cause fish to die easily, disrupting the environment and health. The research objective is to design, manufacture, test, and implement an automatic control system for ammonia content in biofloc ponds, which will be implemented in 2022. The re-search method is an experimental method. The stages include: designing and making monitoring of ammonia content, designing and manufacturing an auto-matic water disposal system, and testing and implementing an automatic control system for ammonia content in biofloc ponds. The test results show that the au-tomatic ammonia controller can work well. When a certain level of ammonia is detected in the pool water, the ammonia sensor is active and provides information to the microcontroller to activate the solenoid and open the drain, so that the pool water is reduced and replaced with new water. The reduction in ammonia levels is done by reducing the capacity of the pool water (the old one) and adding new water automatically and adding a water neutralizer in the form of lime.
