Hi, I was wondering if you guys that are into filters could help me..
I'm trying to get an estimate for how much It would cost to start selling fish at my neighborhood plant store, with stuff like tilapia, catfish, koi and whatnot in tubs. So I was wondering
how much filtration do you think you'd need for a 100 or a 50 gallon stock tank of this variety

if they were usually medium/heavily stocked with small tilapia/koi/or catfish?(probably interchangably).
Specifically, how big of a pump would I need? What gph?
and what kind of media would you reccomend for maintaining the tank with that kind of bioload? It would probably be a pump going through a box of media.
There would most likely be gravel or sand in the bottom along with plants (as it is a plant store) which could help absorb nutrients
