In my nano tank, where the water shoots out from the back compartments (top right corner), the little black "nozzle" (for lack of a better word) is chipped, and some of the water is shooting through the side, reducing the water pressure and, therefore, the flow in the tank.  It's practically non-existent.

My question is this:  What kind of glue can I safely use to bond in that place to stop the leak and increase my flow?  Super glue?  Silicone?  Something else?  I'd have to unplug the pump and let it dry out first, then glue it somehow.  Any ideas? 

I just don't want to poison everything in there by using something dumb.  That'd be very bad.Confused

Gorilla glue, super glue, hot glue, epoxy, silicone, resin,
It's all safe.

If it's acrylic us an acrylic glue such as Weld-on 16.  If it's PVC use a PVC glue.  If you don't know, I'd just silicone it unless you need structural support the I might use a polyurethane glue such as Gorilla.
