You can possible snap the fitting the rest of the way off, buy a tap, and thread a new hole to accept a barb fitting the size of the hose your running (1/2" or 5/8?). Or search Ebay for another one...

i have contacted the seller for a new lid and no its 1in id
 
Th part the commonly breaks on these is where the hose connects to the canister... There's a mod thread on another message board for how to fix this. I believe you cut 3/4" PVC and glue it in place. I'm on my phone so I can't dig up that thread right now.

What the heck are people doing? lol- "Let's gorilla this thing apart" GRRRRRR!

Take your time and be careful. Sorry, I know that it's to late to be careful.

So the MFR won't warranty this type of thing?
i think i got a temp fix with super glue and silcone waiting for it to set up cause atm i dnt have no filteration running on my 120


as is mfr its quite hard to get in contact with the fatory for parts gotta deal with the ebay seller
 
Mine broke this morning too... I just super glued it back together. No problems. If you contact the seller you should be able to get a new lid for it though.

Also, I would run just this on a 120g, you'll probably want something to supplement it anyways.
