I broke my protein skimmer. Will super glue work to fix broken acrylic? It is a tube, broken in two pieces. It is a fairly clean break. It will be under alot of pressure.

pete (right?), i have some weldon #4, i could come glue it when i get off of work today. then, i can go over the ouside with weldon #16. dont know if that will hold, but will probably work better than superglue.

No leaks so far. Thanks Ace. I just started leak testing an hour ago. The new braces are working great. Definetly stronger than it was before.

Great work :D
