Clue it it's really easy and extremely powerful glue it basically welds it. It sets in minutes but you should let it sit overnight before water. Weld on 4 or 16. Cheap glue on amazon.

I actually bought a second medium size algae turf scrubber and they're both already filling up within a week on my 300. The newer turf scrubber is actually quite a bit better they put a bunch of little tweaks compared to my other one and it's actually pretty good now. I do have to say that my $17 flood lights from Amazon are growing algae much faster on the other turf scrubber than the blue white lights that they send.

Don‘t you have recourse through eBay and PayPal buyer protection? I would imagine that any shipping damage would be covered, no?

spread some Weldon 16 on there (or the equivalent - not sure if you can actually get anything in NZ) and let it sit overnight. It won't look pretty but it will work.

after spending over 5k on my new build id rather not just glue it up even tho it may fix the problem aesthetically it wont be pleasing to my eyes lol
