Default epoxy glue

I broke one of my tabs on the power head for my deltec skimmer. Has anyone ever used 5 min epoxy and is it reef safe after it cures?

I have used the reef safe stuff Big Al's sells and its horrible, such a waste of $25 bucks. Just use some "Flash ®" cyanoacrylate super glue. Get the Thick stuff, same stuff i use for glueing frags. My tabs on my Tunze nano just broke off and i used this stuff to glue it back on the magnet, works like a charm!

Oh yah, and when you glue a frag, how long does it take to dry before you can put it back in the tank???

Sorry for the novice questions
