Tank Controller Manager

The Tank Controller Manager (TCM) works to monitor, operate, and consolidate multiple tank controllers. A tank controller regulates tank pH through CO2 addition and temperature. The purpose of the TCM is to allow over-the-network access to tank controllers while facilitating research by reporting data. Created in Flutter with the programming language Dart, the TCM runs on virtually every main platform.
