you can use it for many things... it means something like a safe place for stuff. safe place for pods to reproduce, for macro algea to grow to get out nutrients... maybe for letting frags attack to rocks. I will be using one for this reason, to lower nitrates maybe.

If you have the resouces go ahead and do it. I've heard nothing but good things. The easiest way is probably to buy a Aquaclear 300 or 500 HOB and make it into a fuge.

 

You might have to modify the pump a bit but its cheap and easy. You should see a noticable difference.
