1. A method of controlling an aquatic habitat comprising:
providing a system for controlling a habitat comprising:
a habitat environment comprising a pair of sidewalls, a pair of end walls, and a bottom wall, wherein the habitat environment is made of a transparent material;a user interface configured to receive an indication of a habitat specification, wherein the habitat specification comprises at least one of a shape of the habitat, a content of the habitat, a type of component within the habitat, and a number of components within the habitat;a server comprising a database containing information associated with a habitat component and a communication interface for transmitting operating data for the habitat component, wherein the server is configured to receive the indication of the habitat specification from the user interface and wherein the operating data is generated based on the indication of the habitat specification and the information associated with the habitat component;a bridge having a first communication unit configured to communicate with the server communication interface and transmit the operating data received from the server to the habitat component; andthe habitat component having a second communication unit for receiving the operating data from the bridge, wherein the habitat component is coupled to one sidewall or end wall such that the second communication unit is disposed outside the one sidewall or one end wall and is controlled based on the operating data, wherein the habitat component comprises a first component and a second component; inputting environmental information associated with the habitat to the user interface, wherein the environmental information comprises at least one of a shape of the habitat, a content of the habitat, a type of component within the habitat, and a number of components within the habitat; transmitting the environmental information from the user interface to the server; preparing at the server operating data related to the first component and the second component associated with the habitat based on the environmental information and habitat environmental information stored at the server; transmitting the operating data related to the first and second components from the server to the bridge; transmitting the operating data related to the first component from the bridge to the first component, wherein the operating data related to the first component transmitted to the first component includes instructions to operate at a first operational mode during a first time period and a second operational mode different from the first operational mode during a second time period; and transmitting the operating data related to the second component from the bridge to the second component, wherein the first component is controlled to operate at the first operational mode during the first time period and the second operational mode during a second time period and the second component is controlled based on the operating data related to the second component transmitted from the bridge to the second component. |
