Setting up a 12g Aquapod: Need suggestions

I have filtered through as many threads as I can handle about "nanopods."
I have the 12 gallon Aquapod still in the box. I am looking for info as to the best way to set this up for reef keeping.
Right now, I don't plan on any fish just softies. I have a large reef now, but want a place to enjoy zoas and various ricordia.

Here is all I have come up with to perfect this pod.
Modify fans in order for better flow. Which includes recutting fan grates and inverting one fan to pull air in.

Chamber 1 - Filter floss
Chamber 2 - 1.5lbs. of L/R rubble and a mesh sack of chaeto
Chamber 3 - another mesh sack of chaeto
Chamber 4 - MJ900 pump and Theo 50w heater

Can you all help to really get this narrowed down? I really don't want to cut on the back of the tank to place a light for the chaeto, but how will it grow?

Does all this look agreeable to you all? Keep in mind the tak is still in the box and untouched, so anything goes.

Thanks
 
I dont know anything bout pods, but i have a 12g nano cube : ) Your chamabers look good, i would suggest just getting a small amount of light, for the chaeto. IMO the 3rd chamber is not required, the 2nd chamaber will grow, so u dont have to light both. Umm in the 3rd chamber, chemipure? just as a suggestion. But i have a question for you :D Since you kinda know about fans, can you give me a suggestion to my question? http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=928911

thanks
 
Many put live rock rubble in their chambers successfully. I am setting up my 12 gallon aquapod next week.

Almost done building my killer stand :)

Hey Bungle,
AWESOME icon. I'm a huge Radiohead fan as well. I've been to 9 of their shows so far!!!

Oh yea, I have a 12g Aquapod as well, along with a 20gallon long. PM me with any questions you might have about the 12g. I'm still new at this but will answer any questions you might have.
