I got the Reef Octopus skimmer with a used tank i purchased. Does anyone know the model it is? I cannot seem to locate it. Also I broke one of the legs off, what would you recommend

I use to glue it back?
 
You'll want acrylic solvent to "glue" the leg back on it. The leg is acrylic so using solvent will make as strong as a bond as it was before breaking. Weld-On is a common brand. Liquid does better and is cleaner than gel

Weld on 3 or 4?

Pretty sure either is fine since they both say "like water". You'll want a syringe with a plastic tip to apply it. If its a tight crack you can just let it wick into the crack with capillary action. If not you will want to wet both sides a little then press together. You should only have to hold it for like 5m, then let it set for an hour or so.

Perfect, thank you
