    Wow that looks like a very old model. Is it even an Eheim other than the pump?

    The pump looks incompatible anyway... the top pipe and the filter input don't line up right?

    Plus you mentioned you have to glue stuff back... I'd not risk using it personally

    Seen this before. One of the bottom hose is the intake while the other function to release the water as it would be too heavy to carry that canister full with water. The pump is placed above and the whole canister works the same as the Eheim Classic series. Where did you get this from?
