In addition to the linked question that @szebasztian provided in the comment, take a look at the documentation. You can specify what connection Schema will use to create the table when running a migration in this way:
Schema::connection('foo')->create('users', function ($table) {
$table->increments('id');
});
foo is the new connection you define in config/database.php. I would personally still add the connection details (host, username, password, etc) to .env for that information.
