Is "loctite weld" 2-part epoxy aquarium safe?

Just use PVC cement. Only costs a buck or two. Once cured PVC and PVC cement are inert and safe for potable water systems for human consumption and inert and safe for aquarium use. There's one available in most hardware stores that is applicable to all plastics. BTW, there are also PVC check valves available if you're wanting something with a longer life of use.

I've decided not to use the check valve at all, but I still need to attach a piece of airline tubing to go to my aqualifter. What should I use?

All I have for PVC cement is red hot blue glue, which specifies PVC.
 
Get the 'All Plastics' cement and they'll be no guess work or wondering if the bond will fail. You'll find it in the PVC aisle so, don't look in the adhesives aisle.

I'm not certain the airline tubing is bondable with that.

Oh, you're not going to try and mount a rigid fitting to attach the airline to? Not quite sure how you're going to achieve that.

I guess I'll just redo my siphon with a tee that goes to an adapter.
That or I'll just get some plumber's goop.
