It's an aquaclear filter. And thanks a lot, i'm looking at the filter and it's doing fine now, just leaking a bit but the water goes back in the tank. I was just worried about the fish because of the chemicals in the glue. Thanks!
Broken Filter HELP!!!
Hi,
First off, I wasn't sure in what category to post this but I figured Emergencies would be it.
So today I was cleaning my 21 gallon fish tank housing 3 female bettas, 2 sumo loaches ( I think that was the name, they stay very small. The guy from the store said it was the smallest loach I could get), a pearled gourami and 3 glowfishes ( yes I know they should be in groups of 5 minimum.) Anyway, I decided to clean the filter cause of the accumulation of algae stuck up in the tube but while cleaning the tube, the upper part that connects both the tube that take water from the tank and the filter itself broke in pieces.
I tried scotch tape. It didn't work. So, I tried superglue and it does work but is leaking a little bit.
My questions now are, is superglue waterproof and is it fish friendly? I really don't want to go to the pet shop to buy a filter again but if needed I guess I'll go.
Thanks in advance.

Found it!If its not a no name brand filter you should be able to contact the company and purchase a replacement part.
