I went the cheap route for year one. I am running a 55 gallon tank and a 40 gallon tank (old fish tanks that I had). I clean the filters every couple of days and that seems to be working so far. I have 20 tilapia in the 4-6 inch range. I am planning to expand it for next year and start earlier. I will move them to a cage in the pond when the pond is ready before I release them. Just need to build a cage. Another new pond project!
