what does the refuge consist of im a newbie at thisWe sell a lot of bio cubes and have set up a few in the office. Currently, my favorite setup is to keep the filter cartridge in place remove the media rack and make a big fuge in the middle. The only media is the cartridge and you have nothing else you need to replace. We use 2 White Eco Chic lights magnet mounted to the back glass to light the fuge.

Tunze Eco Chic White 6500K 8821 LED Light
We recommend using the Tunze Eco Chic White 6500K 8821 LED Light as a refugium light. This light is submersible and can easily fit into the back chamber of a nano tank or in a sump.www.marineandreef.com
Do I run that with carbon or take out carbon completely? bio too?The fuge, or refugium is just a place to grow beneficial algae. The algae in the back compartment outcompete the algae in the display keeping your display clean while also removing nutrients. All you do is add the lights plug them into a timer. Set the timer to turn the lights on opposite your display lights and then add some algae. (normally Chaetomorpha) When the chamber is full throw out 1/2-1/3rd of the algae and then let it regrow. I have an article on refugiums linked below.
