So I just bought a 29 gallon Bio

[Swamp Donkey]

29 gallon bio cube. It is a nice tank, but is there a way to add a fuge and some better lights? I got the stand with it and there is plenty of room for a small sump/fuge, but I am at a loss on how to make it work. I also think the lights may be a bit too weak. I really like the setup of it though.

I made the second chamber a refugium.

Cool thanks. Any thread or advise on the fuge part? Sand, liverock, cheato and a clip on light?

I have some liverock rubble and Cheato in the second chamber. I have an old desk lamp with a Coralife 50/50 10watt screw in bulb shining through the back. The back of the tank is painted with glass paint, just take a razor blade to it and scratch off the area you want. I left the drip tray in the second chanber and put some filter floss there. I also took out the stock filter. Restricted the water flow.

Check out these threads.
