I have taken everything out of the 2nd chamber. In the bottom there is a bag of chemipure elite and a bag of purigen. Next on top of those is a ball of chaeto. on the wall between chamber #1 and #2 there is a hanging drip tray that holds 2 pcs. of impregnated filter pad, one with carbon one with phophate remover. I have a 150 Sunpod for lighting so now top which allowed me to put a clamp on Azoo palm light over the chaeto. It clamps on the wall between #2 and #3.
Here are some pics.

I simply scraped the black paint off the back wall of chamber 2, added a 9 watt light that I put velcro on to hold in place, it is set to the same timer as my moonlights. I then removed the bioballs and added about 2lbs of lr rubble to the bottom of the chamber. On top of that I have a wad of chaeto. Fuge done

Im lost on the paint scraping part... where did you scape paint off of? and why?
If you added the light, why did you need to remove paint?
Are you running the stock hood with your light velcro'd in?
Does anyone have any thoughts on how much wattage a fuge really needs? Id like to find a way to hook a small set of LED's or other micro light up inside the stock hood without having to mod the whole tank to death.

on the back of the tank, there is a black paint coating. what you do is scrape off the paint in the area of the second chamber. then you mount on the light on the outside. the scraping of the paint allows the light to pass thru to the refugium. i reccomend a LED light. 10 bucks at HD and it had 10 bulbs for a total of 10 watts. they are also efficient and not hot. you will want a drip tray over it, this will allow it to cover the chaeto that is out of the water when your water level drops due to evaporation. nothing to worry about if you have auto top-off.
