    Soooo, I'm cleaning my garage and I have my old 55 gallon tank I upgrade from during the move. I was going to put it on CL but I'd rather do something cool with it. So, leaving it in the garage I want to grow some pods that I can feed my main tank with. I want to keep it simple. All I have is the tank and stand and not sure the best way to attack it. Advise? ;D

    Big tank just to grow pods, a macroalgae/scorpionfish display with a good, simple filtration system plus macro would grow lots of pods and maybe be a little more interesting. But that setup would cost slightly more.

    Can you plumb the tank from your display?

    No, I can't. I need the separate tank. I could do brine shrimp also. I just want live food for my mandarin/fish.

    I do but there is no room, it's not an option.
