How many GPH are you planning to run through the Ultima? I, personally, would run it through the FX5...slower flow rate = more effective UV.

yes... i will run the UV through the FX5 or 2262 ... instead of the ultima 6000
Not quite true. You need to check for the minimum recommended flow rate from the UV manufacturer. If it's the Aqua 57 watts, it requires more than 400 gph flow rate. I'm using a 36 Coralife Turbotwist with a Mag 18 already, since they recommended flow rate > 1200 gph. Slow flow rate won't be sufficient to have all the water from tank treated.

actually im replacing the sump for the Ultima 6000.. the FX5 is the "backup"
How about the 2000 and 2 fx5's. They are not hard to take care of and peace of mind.
