Cataponics

Since my cats are so fascinated with the fish in the big tank, I decided to make them their own aquaponics setup - aka "cataponics."  It will have a little fish tank with fish for them to watch and a "grow bed" containing cat grass for them to eat.  Technically, it's not really an aquaponics system yet, since the the tank and grow bed are not connected.  The little "water pump" that came with the tank is more of a glorified air pump, so it's not strong enough to get the water up to the grow bed.  I've got a few ideas on how to make it work, but I will probably get my husband involved since he's pretty smart about those things and always seems to see the most obvious solutions that I wrack my brain trying to figure out.
