get some "weld on".

It is a acrylic solvent that will fix it.

if its a crack and not a chunk missing then weld on 3 or 4 will work just fine.

if its a chunk then weld on 40 should get it all back into one piece.

Welcome to Reef Central! Fix what you can use what you have so you save money so you can buy what you need. It looks like you need a skimmer, that can be one of the most daunting and confusing decisions to make, there are so many. The best way is to make a decision.
What size tank' PS I know it is a 75 gallon
How much room do you have to put the skimmer in
How much money do you have to spend?
How quiet?
