yours doesnt look to be an aquaclear. Also they make different size filters, as in the amount of water they turn over per hour. Yours is small and doesnt move that much water. You need one that turns over more water. Keep what you have and add an aquaclear 110.

AC filters have a reusable, rinse-able large sponge & BioMax ceramic rings for biological filtration.

That's great news! Is it the 110? Yes, the powerhead stays & you need to leave the established filter on there for about 6 weeks, while the bacterias builds up in the new one.
