1. A system comprising:
a reservoir controller, wherein the reservoir controller includes a liquid level sensor; and
an aquarium water change device comprising:
a reservoir port configured to couple to an aquarium via the reservoir controller, wherein the aquarium stores a first liquid;
an output port;
an input port configured to couple the aquarium water change device to receive a second liquid;
a valve control system, wherein the valve control system is operatively coupled to transfer fluid between the reservoir port and the input and output ports; and
a controller that operates in a reservoir draining mode and a reservoir filling mode in accordance with an input received onto the controller, wherein in the reservoir draining mode, the controller controls at least one valve of the valve control system to couple the reservoir port to the output port such that an amount of the first liquid is removed from the aquarium through the output port while the input port is bypassed, wherein the controller receives water level information from the reservoir controller, wherein the water level information indicates a water level of the aquarium, wherein in the reservoir filling mode, the controller controls at least one valve of the valve control system to couple the input port to the reservoir port such that an amount of the second liquid is supplied from the input port to the aquarium while the output port is bypassed, and wherein the controller uses the water level information obtained from the reservoir controller to perform automated water changes such that a configurable amount of water in the aquarium is removed via the output port and replaced via the input port.
