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.
