Start a 10 gallon?

So, I have had my 30 gallon for a little while now, and I have a 10 gallon tank just sitting around in my room. I thought about making it into a refugium for my 30 gallon, but its on my dresser and can't put it underneath the DT. I thought about putting it on the floor on the right side of the dresser, but its kind of a far distance for the return line and don't know if it would work. So, should I start a 10 gallon tank instead?

 

I will say that a 10 gallon tank is pretty demanding. I have one and I'm upgrading it to a 65G but will probably keep it up as a hospital tank, quarantine tank, or frag tank.

 

i say go with the sump idea just get a pump that can go 8-10ft, mag 7, or something like that

 

i too have a 30 gal up and running and a ten gallon laying around. what im doing with the 10 gallon is making a mantis tank out of it. thats something you could do with it.

 

I think a poll will help me decide. I am on the fence either way.
