12 nano cube dlx refugium help!

[TriniReefer]

Hey i want to make a refugium in the second chamber of my 12 gal nano cube dlx but i want it to look stock.How will i get the lighting in? I saw that someone cut the tint out of the back and put a light hanging on a table.What would you need to make a refugium in this tank? I was thinkin about taking out the bio-balls i have now put some mud,LR Rubble, and some chaeto.Then cut out the tint and use a desktop lamp with a compact fluorescnent bulb i have.But i cant find any chaeto at any LFS.Everyone is trying to grow it then sell it .Where on the internet do they sell chaeto?Oh and would the refugium be able to feed a mandarin?

Ok, you can peel off the vinyl on the Nc12 with help of a razor.
Then, you can add a light, like a coralife 2x9w and use tape to help secure it, then all you need to do is add life (chaeto or other macros).
Take out the bioballs, you do not need mud, but life rock rubble will be useful.

on the note of the mandarin, no, the refugium will not support the guy.

also, ask around for local reefers for chaeto. if you need some, you can pay shipping and i can send you some after mine grows out
