I want to setup a very small indoor system to get a feel for this. I'd like to see how much plant matter I can grow from that. Probably just basil and oregano.

- How much can I grow?
- What grow medium
- lava rocks
- perlite
- gravel
- Do I need a filter between the fish tank and the plants?
It looks like the ratio is the gallons of grow bed to gallons of tank it's somewhere around 2:1.
Components
- Fish tank : I have the old 10 gallon fish tank.
- Pump
- Beds
- bell siphon : simple to make from pvc
- auto feeder (for fish)
- Lights : I'd like to use LEDs because that's what I'll want to use in the long run.
- Timers
- secondary tank
The fish tank is the primary tank
