Hey all. I just got a used 40gal long tank from a friend and he threw in an AquaTech 30-60 filter and two awesome pieces of driftwood. There's a minor problem with the filter, however. It looks as though it's missing the intake assembly, or at least part of it. The impeller is there, but there's no intake tube or anything. I'm currently running a Penguin 170 on the 46gal (which will be torn down and put in storage in favor of the new tank) and was thinking since the two filters are made by the same manufacturer I could pirate the parts I need from the Penguin to use on the AquaTech. I know the Penguin is a lesser model than the AquaTech, but the basic difference between my Penguin and the AquaTech is that the AquaTech has two waterfalls and requires two cartridges while my Penguin only has one. I've googled "intake assembly for AquaTech 30-60" in hopes of finding a detailed picture or drawing of the assembly so I know what parts to pirate, but I can't come up with anything. It doesn't help that it's an older filter and appears to be slightly different than the current models of filters (my AquaTech 5-15 came with the generic instruction manual that lists all models and there are some minor differences between the look of my filter and the internal parts I can see and the filter shown in the manual). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I could use the Penguin, but my filtration capacity wouldn't be as optimal as it would be if I used the AquaTech, so I'd *really* prefer to use the AquaTech. Thanks!*celebrate
