Default Unglued Collection Cup
Help - The collection cup on my Euro-Reef came unglued. It came unglued at the bottom and the 8inch cylinder has come completely off the base.

I am assuming this is acrylic. This has to be a complete seal as it must hold the waste collected.

Question is what to use to reseal it?
Crazy Glue or Gel?
GE Type I Silicion?
Special Acrylic Glue?

Thanks. TW

I wold use Weld-on solvent cement. The silicone would get funky after a while and be less permanent.

Yep. You've got to use Weld-On. You'll find it at plastic places like Industrial Plastics & Paint.

Does Weldon come in a small tube? Similar to toothpaste?
Or do I use the same can/brush as for plumbing?

It comes in a small tube with a narrow tip, very easy to use.

This is what Industrial Plastics gave me:

Is this the right stuff for saltwater reef application?

Thanks, TW
