I got the Reef Octopus skimmer with a used tank i purchased. Does anyone know the model it is? I cannot seem to locate it. Also I broke one of the legs off, what would you recommend

You'll want acrylic solvent to "glue" the leg back on it. The leg is acrylic so using solvent will make as strong as a bond as it was before breaking. Weld-On is a common brand. Liquid does better and is cleaner than gel

Pretty sure either is fine since they both say "like water". You'll want a syringe with a plastic tip to apply it. If its a tight crack you can just let it wick into the crack with capillary action. If not you will want to wet both sides a little then press together. You should only have to hold it for like 5m, then let it set for an hour or so.

Perfect, thank you
