Just a thought caused I have a 3x1.5x1.5 tank with around 30+kg of curing live rocks in it. Running on a weipro 2011 skimmer, a Eden 228 rotating powerhead, ehiem 2215 canister filter.

I am wondering what to do with it. Got the live rocks from fellow reefer clearing tank. But no place in my display tank to put liaoz. So wanting to know what fellow reefers would do if they got spare tank to help me decide.

SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE A SPARE RUNNING 3FT TANK??

I would make it into a Quarantine Tank.. if you dunt already have 1

QT that was my original Ideal. But I also got 2 spare 2ft tank I can use as QT. Plus was thinking no need to keep QT Running. Just setup when buy fish. Jus keep the filter running in main tank and bring over when needed.

a FOWLR? 
What kind??

Hei bro...maybe you can show us ways to make a sump tank or any persons who knows how to do sump from spare tank 

Even a bare tank can be a sump. For me I would prefer a simple sump.

Just get a glass cutter to cut two piece os glass to size and silicon onto the sides and bottom. A prefilter and skimmer on one side and a return and chiller pump on the other. Center is refugrium.
