As a starter system, I would recommend getting a 275 gallon IBC tote or something similar and raise 75 tilapia in it. Attach at least 275 gallons worth of grow beds (roughly 48 cu ft of grow beds) and just do a syphon setup and constantly pump the water from the fish tank to the grow beds and back (or look into chift pist basically adds a sump tank so that only 1 water pump is needed). It's a large enough system to get a real world test out of it, and small enough that it can be done inexpensively.
