I need to attach a plastic piece to a drainage box which will allow both the drainage box and overflow to hang on the tank. I tried gorrila glue but it broke right off with a bit o pressure.

What actually works? Anything instant?

jb plastic weld. Not sure if it is fish safe but i would let it cure for at least a week unless someone has some experience with the product.

last night i picked up some loctite epoxy for plastics. it said something about holding up to 3200 psi so im hoping this works. i would hate for it to come apart a few weeks down the road...

I have that.....

You can have it if u think it will work... Looks about the same... I dont have the over flow box to it, so its useless to me..

does the piece that hangs on the tank have a slit for a screw that would allow me to attach the overflow box?
