aquarium safe glue?

[aquandrew]

so i woke up this morning to my powerhead in my nano laying in the sand bed not working. i have the aqueon 500 in my 5.5 gallon nano just started cycling two weeks ago. i have no idea how this happened and i dont know if its covered by the warranty. i rinsed the powerhead and got it working again, but i need to glue this piece back together. what glue can hold this and is aquarium safe?

Don't know how to answer, but following along because I've got a similar problem

GEL super glue. Make sure it is the gel kind or it will not hold up. It is perfectly safe, I use it all the time to glue my frags to my rocks.

okay I've heard people on here saying super glue gel, but wasn't completely sure. i will definitely try it i don't wanna lose my cycle after two weeks

Hey no problem. Post an update later and let me know how it worked.

Amy glue that is 100% cyanoacrylate is suitable for use in the aquarium. Anything else will poison your tank.

i used instant krazy glue all it says is cyanoacrylate so thats right? i let it dry overnight and have a 200 gph HOB running right now for flow. well either way i realized my flow is extremely overkill and need to go get a new powerhead, this one will be going into a river tank

As long as it is 100% you are fine.

update: the glue worked but since the turnover is way overkill i decided I'm going to turn my 20 into a saltwater. my basement is 62 degrees and topping off the 5.5 was a pain so i just said screw it on the cycle. anyone have suggestions for good lighting on a 20 high? my girlfriend really wants a clown fish also so the 5.5 is going to be used for something else.
