My system started with couple IBCs and a small fishpond liner last year.  I have added some barrels, zip (vertical) towers, and a deep water raft bed over the last few months.  I've moved things around once already and now I see to expand my garden in the future  I will need to move it again.  Goldfish are cheap and easy to find.  I have them in the sump and tank.

Last week I bought some other fish from Freshwater Fish Co; a fish farm in Elk Grove, CA.  They have a public fish sale once a month.  The prices were very reasonable and they had a large variety of sizes and species to choose from.  I bought some catfish, sunfish, and bluegill. They also had free duckweed.  I added some to my deep water bed to fill in the gaps between the rafts

I am installing  a homemade fish feeder this weekend.  I saw a youtube video of its construction.  I bought an arduino to manage the timer and turn the motor.  I expect to add pictures and updates in the future.
