Broken Filter HELP!!!

Hey. Not sure if you solved your dilemma here, but instead of super glue I would recommend aquarium adhesive. That way you can eliminate the doubt in your mind that asks this question. I'm sure super glue works just fine, it dries in 10 minutes and is ready by 24 hours, surely. Sometimes when we want things "now", we don't consider the long term repercussions of our needs and decisions entirely.

I am a bit hippie-ish in general, we can all thank my roommate for that, and the fact that generic super glue wasn't intended specifically for underwater aquarium use, I would always pull for something I know can sit in my water with no risks associated with it. I would get the aquarium adhesive, hands down, 100%.

Sorry for the lecture. I do wish you the best and I'm sure which ever route you've decided to take will work out for you, in one way or another. Take care.

True that cyanocrylate is safe. If did the further reading, you would see the natural form is sensitive to moisture and heat, so to compensate for that they add something else. That something else is what bothers me: phthalic anhydride.

"The most probable human exposure to phthalic anhydride is through skin contact or inhalation during manufacture or use. Studies show that exposure to phthalic anhydride can cause rhinitis, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. Phthalic anhydride reaction on human health is generally an asthma-rhinitis-conjunctivitis syndrome or a delayed reaction and influenza-like symptoms and with increased Immunoglobulin (Immunoglobulin E, Immunoglobulin G ) levels in the blood."

What is to say that won't be transferred to the fish? Once again, my vote would be to not risk it. You live and you learn. Nobody knows. We are all really just guessing.

I do see your point, Watermelons, but there is a point I am trying to make. Hundreds and thousands of people believe in God, but as a Zen Buddhist, I believe in the power of myself. There is obviously a lot more going on than we care to admit. Just because a million people do one thing successfully, it doesn't always mean it provides to be the truth in every situation; all it means is that it is more likely to be successful, not that doing it is always a success.

Same with people and how our atoms are composited and pressed; there is space in between and space is where movement exists. So standing there, or sitting here typing this, we are never anywhere truly. If you ask an expert theorist in the field of science, he will tell you that you yourself do not exist, but rather are more likely to exist than not.

We are going off point here. I already mentioned the choice is within the OP's discretion. At this time, it has turned into somebody failing to recognize there are things in which they may not know to be truth. By truth I mean experience then reflection of it. I won't mention any names.
