Americans invest billions of dollars into pets each year. Fish are a very common pet found in over 7 million homes. It can be difficult to take care of a fish and its tank, especially if the owner is busy, traveling a lot, or on vacation. In the end we just want to make sure our pets are healthy and thriving. IntelliTank will allow fish owners to easily monitor the status of their tank, and feed their fish, whenever and wherever they may be. Using real time sensing mixed with analytics on stored data, IntelliTank aims to ease the duties of owning a fish while still being able to enjoy the company of a pet.
