I have been getting into this a great deal lately since reading a thread on this board (plants for filtration). Look into Aquaponics, there raising first and plants for the purpose of eating both.
I'm currently in the very slow ( I'm a broke college student) process of setting up my system. My current setup is a 35 gallon hexagon with yellow belly slider, platy's, 2 clown plecos, red tail shark, one molly. I'm running a fluval 405 for filtering right now, but will be no point it all works in the future. I have a little shower hanger (bought from dollar general for !.50) with a split filter pad and gravel as my little setup. I have a apple, orange, and japanese persimmons trees in there now. The persimmons is growning now after a month, they will all be bonsai. I plan on adding just plane simple high quality grass, as it looks nice and adds a high rate growing plant and a place for the turtle to bask. I'm using a 150W MH with a 20k light.... I think I mimght have to use a 10 K for the plants.
Future setup will have little gutter setup with flowers and some nice smelling veggies as this is all house in my living room in my apartment. I'll make my own thread on this forum in the future of failures. I'm currently wondering as how the turtle will do with limited space and high quality of water this type setup provides.

Good luck. DIY is the way to go for cost effectiveness. A lot of your herbs will give off a nice smell.
Have you guys tried any Brugmansia in a tank? I grow my clones over the winter in jars of water but was kind of worried about the atropine in the plant harming the fish.
All parts of Brugmansia plants contain dangerous levels of poison and may be fatal if ingested by humans or animals, including livestock and pets. Contact with the eyes can cause pupil diliation (mydriasis) or unequal pupil size (anisocoria).[3] Some municipalities prohibit the purchase, sale, or cultivation of Brugmansia plants.[2]
However, I just don't know about the leaching the toxins via the root system. I've watched earwigs fall off my Brugmansians after nibbling too much off the leaves though. Seriously would be cool to grow these out of an open topped tank if possible. 
I probably wouldn't try it with anything I cared about. But if you have a spare tank and some cheap fish let me know what happens. I'm concentrating on food types first.
AMAZING THREAD! would really like to setup a short 4 ft tank with veggies on it in the winter that I move outside in the spring.
