I believe the answer is:

think tank

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'policy group's tip' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fitting out aquarium?' is the wordplay.
'fitting out' becomes 'think' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'aquarium?' becomes 'tank' (aquarium is a kind of tank).
'think'+'tank'='THINK-TANK'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for think tank that I've seen before include "source of ideas" , "Group of experts considering specific problems" , "Brains trust" , "It researches and reports on policy issues" , "Group of specialists considering problem(s)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
