Feeder tank: what to put in there?

N/a

I'd like to start a feeder tank for my family's SW tanks where little edible critters would breed and maybe some plants for the tangs?



Currant plan:

Make shift tank (heavy duty storage container 50~ gallon)

DIY 5 gallon bio filter

DIY LED lights (assuming 30-50w worth?)

2~ inchs of live sand

few large chunks of live rock

critter's out of the sump (copepods?)

2-3x Peppermint Shrimp

Not sure on plants gota look up what tangs prefer.



Any suggestions?


Main tanks have.
1. Flame Angle, Brown tang, Yellow tang, 2xclown, 4xblue chromis, 2x Domino damsel , 2x Goble, Yellow dottyback and 6~ soft corral that I don't know the names of (the tanks arn't really my thing I just live here).

If the feeder tank works we'll start a more aggressive tank.

Seems like a lot of trouble to feed fish that should eat anything. Tangs are just as happy and healthy eating nori, or dried seaweed. You will need lots of copepods to feed the others. Just sayin....
