I am not familiar with that filter but where is it leaking from? If it is coming from the impeller motor it could be the O ring is cracked. You can replace those at your local hardware store.
How did everything turn out? new test results?
Sounds good and keep doing WC's till you get the readings down to the levels I gave.
Just keep up on WC's and the nitrates will eventually go down. Just having the nasty sponge out of there can have made a big difference.
