Hello
the weight bearing piece on Hob seaside aquatics skimmer broke. Any suggestions for repairing it would be very appreciated. Here r some pictures of it.

Any chance you can epoxy/glue it? Can you mount it to a wall bracket or rest it on a frame between the tank and skimmer bottom? Cheaper than replacing...?
 
I'd find some high strength CA glue gorilla glue gel works great for me. You may also want to sand the original bonding area so that the glue has a grippy surface to bond too.
 
I will try the gorilla glue and the wall mounting too
