Fuge in 2nd chamber of solana

Setting up a Fuge in chamber #2 and wanted to see if this was overkill.

I am currently running filter pads on top of the stock black plate, under that chaeto and LR rubble sitting on some egg crate, under the egg crate, filter floss and carbon. I wanted to build a cage (out of egg crate) for the entire setup and add a spot for chemipure. Is this overkill?

For the pic red is the stock black plates, and grey is the pieces that would be egg crate. I switch filter floss out weekly, and carbon I have been switching every 2 weeks (which may be excessive I read carbon lasts a month?)

(See attachment for pic)

Thanks all!

Not overkill at all. We run some chaeto in the first chamber of a solona, and it seems to work pretty well. Are you running a light on the back of the tank?

Yes I am running the JBJ nano led light. May add filter floss at the top and nix carbon for puragen. I love filter floss because it seems to catch allot of the junk in the water.
