you are right 12 volt man. I just hooked it up nice to the outlet. fluval unplugged. It is a little more with the magdrive than the fluval power. Probably will just use each thing for what it was designed for in the end. oh well...had to f with things a bit. there i go thinking again!
Why take the chance when the consequences will be a flood in your house? I'm not sure the little bit of extra performance is worth the risk. My FX5 works superbly. My 125 gallon is crystal clear. What more could I ask for?
I wouldnt do it, like you said, why not just use the fx5's all mighty powerful impeller and then make a sump or wet dry for the mag drive?!
i have done similar things to cheap canister filters it works well BUT always hook up to the outlet so it sucks the water through the canister.
A fluval fx5 has a great standard flow rate and unless you want to pump a 6' head of pressure i dont see the point.
