Tank Commander is built by people who keep tanks.

Tank Commander is an aquarium-automation company headquartered in Austin, TX. Founded in 2025, we ship a single product: a smart controller that watches the parameters that matter, and switches the outlets that need to respond.

Why we built it

Existing controllers were either prohibitively expensive once you added every probe, or so fiddly that hobbyists gave up and went back to analog timers and notebooks. We wanted the simplest possible answer to the question: how is my tank doing, right now?

Our principles

• Stable beats clever. A controller that fails silently is worse than no controller.
• One price, all sensors. No probe-by-probe upsell. No subscription.
• Own your data. Open API, exportable history, no lock-in.
• We answer the phone. Real humans, no chatbots.
