I have a 40 gallon set up next to a pretty good sized closet. I am thinking about building a wooden table in the closet for a frag system which would be plumbed into the 40. In the interest of spending money on frags rather than tanks, I'm thinking of using something like a rubber maid tub to hold the frags. Does any one have experience with this kind of system, or can suggest what a suitable container might be?
Really any input at all, I have kept display tanks for a long time... but this is new to me. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice you may have!

The tank is the cheapest part of the whole set up. I would just stick with a used AGA tank. You can usually get them for about $1 per gallon. If you go with a rubbermaid you still need the same lighting and filtration as you would in a normal tank anyway.
Will the closet be open or closed, and how will you ventilate it? Mold and mildew will build up fast in a relatively enclosed area like that.
