Your space + your crops + your budget → a complete hydroponic or aquaponic system: the right system type, a priced parts list, running costs, build steps and what it will actually produce.

I have a 6×8 ft garage, want lettuce and basil, and have an $800 budget.

Why grow your own
A growing system isn’t a garden — it’s a small, productive machine you can run anywhere. Here’s what it gives you:
Hydroponic and aquaponic systems pack more growing into less space than any garden bed — and they keep producing straight through winter. The only thing standing between you and that is the build.
Anyponics is for first-time growers who want fresh food at home and don’t know where to start: renters with a balcony, families with a spare corner of the garage or basement, and anyone who has read three forum threads and still can’t size a pump. Growers who already have one system use it to plan the next.
The catch
Growing the plants is the easy part. Designing the system is what stops people before they start:
That’s the part Anyponics does for you.
How Anyponics helps
No spreadsheets, no pump math, no guesswork. Design free on the web, then build and run it with the app.
Tell Anyponics what you want to grow, your space, and your budget — in plain English. Start here.
It picks the right system, sizes the hydraulics, builds a costed parts list, and explains every choice.
Follow an illustrated, step-by-step guide — frame, plumb, fill, tune, and plant.
The design
Anyponics matches your crop, space, and skill to the right method — then does the engineering, so the system actually works on day one.
The parts list
Every fitting, pipe length, pump, tank, and grow bed — with quantities and cost estimates. Know what the build costs before you commit.
The build
An illustrated order of operations takes you from an empty corner to a running system — and a verifier flags anything that doesn’t add up.
Aquaponics
In an aquaponic system the fish feed the plants and the plants clean the water — a small, self-balancing ecosystem that produces protein and produce together, from the same tank.
It’s also the trickiest kind of system to get right. Anyponics sizes the fish tank, the biofilter, and the fish-to-plant balance so the loop stays healthy from the first day.
Built for real builds
From a windowsill of herbs to an off-grid system — planned, built, and kept running.
Eight system types — NFT, DWC, drip, media bed, vertical tower, and full aquaponic loops.
See the true footprint of a build at real scale in your room before you spend a dollar.
Solar, gravity-fed, and rainwater options for cabins, homesteads, and remote builds.
A second-opinion check catches undersized pumps, head-pressure problems, and stocking mistakes.
Put two builds side by side — cost, pump, footprint — and pick the one that fits.
Use your device’s LiDAR to measure the space and design to the dimensions you really have.
Anyponics sized the lights, so it knows the load. See the monthly bill, the cost per kilogram, and whether the build ever pays for itself.
Doses worked out from your reservoir, crop and water source — with your tap water’s own EC subtracted so you don’t overfeed.
pH checks, top-ups, reservoir changes — on your system’s own schedule, tightened while it’s still settling in.
iPhone & iPad
Anyponics runs on iPhone and iPad — sketch a system on the big screen, then carry the parts list and build steps out to where the work happens. Every design is stored on your device.

Pricing
The web designer is free with no limit. The app for iPhone, iPad and Android is free to start; Pro unlocks everything for running your garden.
US prices; the App Store or Google Play shows your local price. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Bought the earlier one-time Pro? It still unlocks every design feature, forever.
Design your system free in the browser, then build and run it with Anyponics for iPhone, iPad and Android — reminders, readings and a harvest log.
