10g question

[whyzee429]

I have a 10 gallon tank that is currently housing my roommate's huge damsel that will be donated the the lfs. Haha. I was just thinking about using the soon to be empty tank as an area to grow out possible food items for my tank. My tank is

Any of you have suggestions? I realize this is a pretty open ended thread and I will answer any and all questions.

You could always buy a clamp on light from the hardware store and use an incandescent spotlight. That's what I use for my fuge and it's more than enough light.

So far I'm entertaining the idea of a clamp on light with some chaeto. Should a make it barebottom or maybe seed it with sand from my tank?
