A little pice of flex seal tape and a 2nd hose clamp.

You probably won't be able to clamp so close to the corner.

If you have a soldiering iron (for electrical wires), you could melt the hole closed. Practice on a PVC pipe joint first.

Or may be able to squeeze in a 2 part epoxy putty. Rough up the exterior to get better adhesion

Aquarium sealer might do the trick, just have to let it cure.

Sounds like great ideas, make sure it’s dry if indicated by product instructions, and allowed to cure...

GL!

you can actually use eheim hose with these taps, flow better, quieter and seal better
