I would contact the maker for this piece. Give them a shout and I bet they will send you a replacement.

You might try city pets I know they have some parts in stock I'm not sure which models though.

btw - I cracked a mag 5 like that (but maybe not quite as far up) - if you are brave you can take some pvc pipe glue - put it inside the housing where the pipe threads in, and onto the threads of the pipe (remove the teflon tape) and quickly - i mean real quickly tighten the threads. It worked for me.

Thanks for the help guys although the pvc pipe glue sounds a little tricky lol. I guess i just used the wrong fitting for this or shouldnt of had tighten it so much. But this is what i get for trying to make it an external return pump lol.

Yeah the plastic is real thin - I broke mine the exact same way. Teflon tape & tightened too much.
