I have a stem on my Koralia powerhead that is broken. I would like to repair it rather than buy a new one. I tried using superglue, but it just does not hold properly. What I really need is epoxy. Any suggestions on what would be safe to use?

I went with JB Plastic Weld. I have other needs for a plastic adhesive epoxy than my pump, so worse case I can just use it on other things.

I made the repair, and it took really well. I let it cure beyond the 1 hour it said. In the 2 days that the pump has been repaired, I have not noticed any significant changes in the tank, so at this point it seems to be doing a good job.
