Has anyone ever done anything like this or have any insight as to whether this will succeed or fail?
Already have the canister filter on hand

Hi
I ran a big Aquanova2000 lph very successfully on a 50 gallon tank which is about the same size as your FX5, I think the FX5 has even more flow than the filter I used so it should work very well for you for a frag tank.
