XP3 Glue?

[Mr Pleco]

Looking for a safe glue that I can use to glue my XP3 intake tubes together..
My big guys keeping knocking them apart when they get startled..

Anything you can find at HD or Lowes would be appreciated...

I would guess you could try plumbers pipe dope , it gete used in human plumbing systems.

another thought ,, aquarium sealant

pipe dope isnt a glue, its a thread sealant. just use some 100% pure silicone.

why not use a metal hose clamp for that and then if you ever have to replace the hose for some reason it would be a lot easier and quicker, If you glue it you might have a real hard time getting it off !

HomeDepot sell silicone glue. You'll need to do some light sanding on the tubes to ensure that it sticks good. Another option is to get this kit from Eheim. This one will hold up a lot better.

Sorry, I was very tired the other night and did not read the first part of the tread. I somehow thought you were gluing the hose to intake on top of filter! I too thought about gluing mine also but it seems easier to clean if i can break them out.
