Anyponics: Hydroponics Planner

Describe what you want to grow. Get back a system you can actually build — pump sizes, pipe runs, lights and all. Anyponics turns that description into a complete plan: system type, pump and pipe sizing, lighting, climate hardware, a full parts list with costs, and step-by-step build instructions. Stop guessing. Stop juggling spreadsheets and forum threads. HOW IT WORKS Describe your goal in your own words — "40 heads of lettuce in my 8×10 basement, no fish, beginner" or "enclosed acrylic grow cabinet for my apartment, vertical tower inside, LED bars on the side walls, quiet at night" — and Anyponics designs the system for you: the right method, the hardware, the numbers, and the reasoning behind each choice. ANY BUILD, ANY SCALE From a mason jar of basil on a windowsill (Kratky, no pump) to a 5-tier microgreens rack in your closet, an enclosed apartment grow cabinet with side-wall LED bars, a 4×4 grow tent, or an off-grid solar greenhouse with fish — Anyponics sizes each one to your exact dimensions. WHAT YOU GET • System recommendation — NFT, DWC, drip, media bed, ebb & flow, vertical tower, microgreens trays, Kratky, or a full aquaponic loop — matched to your crop, space, and skill level • Hydraulics done right — pump GPH, pipe diameters and lengths, total dynamic head • Lighting design — PPFD target, DLI, photoperiod, fixture count, side-wall LED bars for cabinets, T5 strips for microgreens • Climate sizing — exhaust CFM, dehumidifier capacity, mini-split BTU, CO₂ tank size, circulation fan count • Multi-tier rack planning — tier count, clearance per tier, plants per tier • Complete bill of materials with quantities and cost estimates • Step-by-step build guide with illustrations matched to your design — tick off each step and each part as you go, and pick up where you left off • A built-in design verifier that flags anything that doesn't add up • Running cost and payback — monthly bill, cost per kilogram, and whether it beats the supermarket • A feed plan sized to your reservoir, plus care reminders on your system's own schedule • Off-grid support — solar, gravity-fed, and rainwater options • Honest design feedback — Anyponics flags real tradeoffs (e.g., a fully sealed cabinet without CO₂ injection will plateau plant growth) right in the rationale HYDROPONIC + AQUAPONIC Growing with fish? Anyponics sizes the fish tank, biofilter, and fish-to-plant ratio alongside the plant side. Works from a single betta in a 10-gallon aquarium up to 30 trout in a greenhouse loop.
