I would either keep the powerheads really high or only have one powerhead and an overflow on the higher tank. I did this for a few days with two ten gallon tanks and one of the pumps failed and it drained the one tank almost completely, you probably already thought of this though.
I like the idea of 'display refugiums' I don't know if that kills the purpose though.
