Post subject: power filter question
Archived from groups: rec>aquaria>freshwater>goldfish (more info?)
I brought a couple of my goldfish from the pond inside. The power
filter has been working fine, until this am. The magnet has seperated
from the rest of the impeller, so there is two pieces running on the
shaft, not one. Can I use super glue to fix that? I ordered a new one,
but need to get this filter back up and running until I get the part. I
know super glue is safe in salt water tanks as I have used it, not sure
about freshwater though...please help

Superglue will work ...but may not fix your problem.
As its only a small surface area to cover.
Superglue works better over larger surfacs.
Try an epoxy resin...probably better for your application....some dry in 10
minutes.
But most 24 hours.
