Every system is different. Maybe you are planning to run a large aquaponics system with a large DWC beds, or maybe you plan on running a small hydroponic setup using NFT. No matter the system, choosing the right pump is important, and choosing the wrong size can cause problems long term. Use the calculator below … Read more
For the most part, when we see light intensity requirements for plants, they’re listed as PPFD or 150-250 µmol/m²/s, but what does it mean? I know most lights come with other values like kelvin and lumen(lm), but how can I know how much PPFD my light will give my plant? I can say as much … Read more
Whether you are starting an aeroponics, aquaponics, or hydroponics system, you probably wonder how much produce you can produce from a given system size, or maybe you are about to build a new diy system and want to know how big you need to build the system to grow a given amount of plants each month. I have created a calculator for just that right here!
Are you burning money by powering your aquaponics system? Figuring out how much your system costs to run is an important task. Maybe you want to find out what equipment uses the most energy. Below, I have created a calculator that does it for you. It comes pre-loaded with a water pump and an air … Read more
Short answer; YES! Long answer, it’s complicated.. Lets not waste any more time and take a closer look at what options you have for running your system completely or partially on solar power, or maybe just a good backup solution for when the grid falls out. This can become advanced if you have no previous … Read more
