i converted my 110 aqua clear into a fuge when i pushed the one piece of plastic in its spot it cracked the bottom right threw , my question is i used crazy glue gel will that seal it permanent or is that just a quick fix it doesnt leak at all anymore but i am worried if it does leak in the long run it would empty my tank pretty quick. up. Hoping to get feedback and opinions on what i should do :(

Are you saying the bottom of the filter is cracked? Where the media would go? I would use aquarium silicone generously just to be safe. Even so it'd only drain the top of your tank off depending on how far down the intake travels

I think if you're not replacing it you're going to always be risking a leak later. :( Better safe than sorry.

If you're just going for a temp fix until you can get a new filter to convert into a fuge, then the SG Gel will work ok. I'd seal it on both the inside and outside to be double sure it doesn't leak. Also adding some aquarium grade silicone wouldn't hurt either. I would not do this as a long term solution. Like Dave said you'll always be risking a leak until its replaced.
