I have this large CPR hob refugium that I've been running. It works very good with the lighting I have, BUT Yesterday I woke up to 4 gallons of saltwater on the floor. The outflow piece had started coming off and allowing water to leak. I've got the fuge removed and its outflow piece removed. What type of glue do I use to make sure it doesn't come apart again?

Acrylic? Weldon 4 or 16 will do the trick. #4 is water thin, #16 is almost a gel. If it was new I'd go with the #4 to make it look nicer. Since it is used. clean it well with denatured alcohol to clean the surfaces and use #16. It will be stronger than new.

I keep some of both around - you just never know when inspiration (or disaster) will strike.
