If it's acrylic, Weldon 16 will do the trick

A month or so ago I had the same problem with a Euroreef 180. I used Weldon to but my collection cup back together.

Nothing against Weld On 16 but it's fairly thick and a bit slow to cure. Good gap filling qualities. If you need very close tolerances then go with Weld On 4 which is like water and cures quite quickly or go with #3 which cures very quick.
All will do the trick.

Weldon 4 is great if you can reassemble the pieces and then just wick in the glue with a needle and squeeze bottle.

There is a glue product out there that is called Gorilla glue. It is a polyurethane glue, the piece's to be glued have to be wet down, apply glue and clamp. best on the market I have used it on a odd ball fitting for my whole house RO system.

Good glue but the Polyurethane expands a lot. Has to be clamped very tightly.

I was just looking at the Euroreef site. Do you think the lid might be PVC? If so Weld On won't work. It's an acrylic glue.

Still think Gorilla glue would be the way to go, but that's just what I would do. Have used it on strange things and it worked
