I thought about doing this with my tank as I have an extra 10 gallon. Would give me a place to have shrimp and smaller fish that my killies would otherwise eat.
Don't see why you couldn't turn one of your 50 gal sump tanks into a refugium. It would work on the same principles of the reef version but with plants instead of algae and whatever they grow. If you went high tech though, fertilizing and co2 would be a pain.
