I actually didn't tally up the cost as that wasn't really of a concern to me, but I'll try my best to provide links to the things I bought for this. Feel free to add it up for me!

I use a 5 micron filter bag that helps quite a bit.
Sometimes nozzles clog, that's the nature of working with dissolved salts. Just make sure you monitor appropriately and the nozzles can be changed easily.

Hello! This looks incredible! I'm just now a high school senior and have been looking into aeroponics after having done hydroponics for at the past three years. I was apprehensive to spend my petty fast food job money on one of those $80 8800 pumps that aeroponic supply companies sell, and those outrageously priced $5 a piece 50 micron plastic nozzles. I'm glad I finally found a source of information that doesn't try to up the price a ridiculous amount. Also great work on using the Arduino as a timer as that was my plan too! I just never got around to it and decided to learn Python instead of C++ :P You're quite right that finding a timer for this kind of application is both a pain and expensive otherwise.

I have a few questions about your build.
How many nozzles/sprayers can this system support?
Is the above question dependent on the size of the accumulators?
Are those brass nozzles able to produce 5-50 micron droplets?
Are there any problems you have run into using this system?

Final note: check these filter bags out, as they might be a little easier to use straight away than a sponge and could fit into a larger water reservoir.

Edit: Keeps the reservoir at 70 degrees

If the plants are going into a sterile aero system then avoid anything with an organic medium. Here's how I do it:
---get a test tube holder at amazon etc: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H6ZR2O8/ref=sxts_bia_sr_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3182441022&pd_rd_wg=eAkLu&pf_rd_r=RVN9GK60NZEAPR7VVCG4&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B01H6ZR2O8&pd_rd_w=3e37X&pf_rd_i=test+tube+holder&pd_rd_r=CZHYGMH1F80EFVAQG2M1&ie=UTF8&qid=1506170000&sr=1
---get some thin plastic sheet that can be cut and rolled up into tubes. You can make "cylinders" out of the cut plastic sheet - like test tubes with no bottom. Cut, roll, and place the tubes into the test tube holder.
---stuff a not too dense piece polyethylene fiber (like cotton) into each tube.
---place the seed on top and cover with very light piece of poly fiber or just leave it as is. The plant must get thru the fiber so don't make it too difficult or leave it off entirely. as the plant will be in a sealed environ anyway.
---after seeds are in the tubes place the entire test tube holder into a large zip-loc bag and seal the bag.
---place the zip-loc in appropriate environ for germination (appropriate light and heat levels etc). Poke holes in the zip-loc when necessary.
---harden-off plantlets.
---plants can then be inserted into your grow system and plant holder of choice by simply unrolling each "cylinder" and removing the plant with its roots growing thru the fiber. The synthetic fiber wont mess with your water chemistry and can be placed in net pots etc. Because the fibers are "long" they wont end up in the water unlike some other fibers/mediums.
This method works well for me and you can get test tube racks of various diameters. My racks are 16mm diameter and they work for most seeds. As for the plastic cylinders I just bought a roll of PET plastic (type of polyethylene). It's clear and I just cut it into strips about 5" wide. So when I'm done I have a bunch of cylinders in the test tube rack with seeds about one inch or so from the top. Water each cylinder with a lab squeeze bottle and let the whole rack drain before placing back into the zip-loc.

Hi. Why did you decide to use the 45nm nozzle? It's super-duper-puper small, I'm not even sure where they can be used... maybe some spraying in the production of processors and microcontrollers...

In aeroponics people usually use 100-200micron nozzles, sometimes you can see 80micron, and such nozzles are cheap. Exmpl: https://www.amazon.com/MrDrip-Mist-Nozzle-Plastic-Barb/dp/B00GVB5HHI/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=100+micron+nozzle&qid=1563203120&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I don't have that much vertical space either...

What I did last time was cut a 1" hole to the bottom of root container, added a fitting for a short hose that ran into a condensate pump.

Which collected the run-off and every so often turned on and pumped it back into my main reservoir.

This is the one I'm looking at. There are cheaper ones and more expensive ones. The reason I like the concept is that they are designed for chemical applications so they are designed to resist corrosion and what not. Not sure if they resist clogging if they are run for many hours non-stop or if they will still have closing issues, but I don't think they would clog as bad as some of the pond foggers I've been looking at.
