Can I fix this eheim 1250?

I over tightened the plumbing to my eheim 1250 and cracked part of the female piece in the return.

It would be nice if I can repair this pump w/o having to buy another one. Does anybody think I can repair this? If so, what epoxy should I use to hold up long term?

Get a ratcheting clamp and some weld on 16 and that should work. The impeller and housing doesn't look like its effected. A clamp and weld on are much cheaper than a new pump.
