As a as a back up food source of live food, including pods, set up largest HOB box that you can get as a refugium. No light necessary. Just throw in rubble and seed with live pods to quick start.
I'm not trying to beat up on you, but in my opinion this is an almost complete waste of time, money and effort.
Even the largest HOB refugiums would only hold about 5 gal of water, less once you add rock. They also tend to become major dirt traps, unless you feed them pre filtered water. Their small size and narrow width also makes them a pain in the neck to clean. Bottom line a typical one that is a gallon or two isn't going to produce much in the way of pods.
If you want a refugium, and this is a good idea, get a second tank and set that up as the refugium. Even a modest 10 gal tank is double the size of the largest HOB refugiums. If you used a 20 gal tank you'd have 4 times the space. That would easily fit under a 65 gal tank, or you could set it up to one side, if you have the space. There are usually lots of interesting things to watch in a refugium.
