24G aquapod help

I bought a 24G aquapod awhile back for a good price but it was missing all its guts. The only thing it has was some foam (which I plan not to use) and some misc parts that are not useful. I think the story behind it was that it was returned to Current because it leaked they replaced the seals and resold it. Regardless I plan on leak testing it for awhile to make sure it does not leak.

My problem is that I'm trying to locate some plumbing parts for it and it is darn near impossible to find anything. It looks like it is an older model since it only has 2 chambers instead of 3. Does anyone know where I can find parts or what will fit. Right now I need a pump that will work from what I understand most people upgrade the stock pump and the output nozzle I was thinking a 2 outlet nozzle would work best since I'm planning to put seahorses in the tank. I am not planning on using a hood since I already have a JBJ clip on HQI.

I found an elbow in my stock of misc plumbing parts it fits in but I'm not sure if it is going to work. Help and advice is greatly needed :mrgreen:

I also noticed that on the right hand side chamber that the plastic moves some I don't know if I did it when I was removing the bio balls or if it was like that but does it need resealing? It has a tab that looks like it fits into the edge seal of the glass that part is what has broken loose. I'll add a picture of it shortly.

Here are some pics of the tab that has broken loose. The first pic is of the tab as is, the second is of the tab pull out and the third is of the tab pushed back into position.

i would look up a replacement pump for one and if you wanna do two nozzles its simple just get some tubing that will match the outlet of the pump... then go up half way put a y in the pipe then run it to each nozzle but get a really powerful pump... then for your filtration on the right side fill it up with rubble rock all the way and just use it as a natural filtration dont use any of that foam crap or anything then if its still 20" wide the get a 20" sunpod or a aqualight 150w halide... heres a link to that... http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+13922&pcatid=13922 but you can just look around like on nanotuners and such....
 
You have a 24g aquapod not a 29g biocube. you can use a maxijet in the left chamber. In the right chamber you can build a media rack using egg crate or go here and buy it http://shop.mediabaskets.com/AquaPod-24-Media-Basket-AP24MR.htm
