Would it be better to have one that connects with the fx5 or with my sump?

Sure as hell won't stop them from pooping.


The turbo twist will connect straight to the FX5. That's what I did for my 180gal and a 210gal.

everywhere I look the item is either out of stock or discontinued. Does the Wave 25 work with fx5 as well?

As far as I know the UV will not effect the algae on your glass....Work on your Nitrates and Phosphates for that.....It will clear green water and prevent ick and other waterbourn parasites.....Anyone else??
