I got this tank from my job. It was used in a flow process demo. It stands !9" tall. The top is about 10" x 6". Theres a divider in the middle that shy's the bottom by a couple inches. All made out of 1/2" acrylic. I have no idea if and what to do with it. I was thinks of some type of filter, but not sure what. Maybe just sell it? I dunno.. Anyone want to share some thoughts,,

Not quite 5 gallons (if I remember my numbers correctly). I am sure it could be made into a reasonable filter.

How about an immersion chiller by inserting it into a mini fridge on a power thermostat.

Don't have a mini fridge or need for the chiller. I was thinking more something like a tricked out sump. http://www.aquarticl...ump_Filter.html

Problem is I just built a sump using a three draw plastic ware set inside another tank. Maybe a slow drip sand filter?

A natural media filter would be nice. I can see it planted and on display by the tank. Then there is always the ginormous ant farm route.

Use it for raising scuds or something. It's too nice to waste. Maybe convert it into a photo tank or two?

How would I start a scud tank? I've only got when I'm out collecting. Is there an actual starter kit like brine shrimp?
