Curse you, Condello, I've been thinking about this all afternoon - it just got worse after I got home and saw the watering troughs (like in the pictures), PVC pipe (like in the pictures), and hoses with ball valves (like in the pictures) just laying around the farm, hardly even used for more productive purposes (those cows can drink when it rains, right? ;\) ). We've even got an aquarium-sized air pump and airstone laying around somewhere that would probably suffice for a lighter load of fish than you're running.

This could be the Po' Boy answer to the RAS, only open loop instead of recirculating. So take really good notes and tell us what works and what doesn't, please. I'm gonna let you make all the mistakes and take all the credit, but I can definitely see trying one of these in the future.

What kind of trickle/purge regimin are you planning on using?
