help with home made refugium

[peonleon2]

So i looked around and finally thought to make a smaller version of what i see all around. I have a 45 gallon tank and have made a small 3 chamber refugium but have not really any clue in what i should put into the thing. Any help i can get would be great. I have small bits of live rock that i can put into it and would buy anything else just need to know. I am new with the whole thing so that is why i made one to go inside my tank and not spend hella money on buying one. it was easy and something to kill time with. I used 1/4" plexiglass and silicone.

first what kind of sillicon. most if not all of the time sillicone will not hold plexi
but as far as the fuge I rec a Live Deep Sand Bed some lr and chato

i looked in other places and they use a refugium fudge, what do you think about that?
i think ill have it ready to go in a day or so. I have sand that i can use and small bits of live rock that i have. Just need to know if sand vs fudge is better
thanks
