I just bought a Euroreef rs 250, there is a crack at the lip of the riser tube. What can I use to patch it up?

Superglue, epoxy, or even silicone should all do the trick.

weld on 16 or weld on 40 which ever you can get a hold of first. but be very careful not to use to much could get a sticky mess.

Yes for acrylic. If it doesn't hold pressure you don't need to use weldon unless you already own it. Any of those others work fine for simple repairs.

If you already own acrylic glue then by all means use it, but I wouldn't go out and get it for this single use.

If the crack doesn't leak, I wouldn't even bother, it'll just make an ugly mess.

Its more of a seperation of the lip.
