Spent a bit of time assembling a new Roma 125 and encountered a bit of a problem, in the process of attacking one of the doors to the cabinet the hinge split from the plate of the hinge and won't reattach. Does anyone if this can be fixed? Or is the hinge buggered.

Hard to tell but it looks like the hinge has broken, you can but replacement hinges easily enough, they're kitchen cupboard door hinges and are pretty standard. Take the old one with you and try a kitchen place or B&Q/Homebase.

Actually, looking again it looks like it's just come apart and you might be able to snap it together.
The two hooks go into the slots, screw the large grub screw out 1st to make it easier then scre it back in.

And now I think it's snapped again, is there a broken off piece?
The piece on the carcass should be a cross shape.

If you look at the othe hinges you'll see if they're the same shape, but those bottom plates are usually cross pieces.
But as I say pretty standard so easy to get, Fluval may even send you one.

Sounds like it’s going to be easier to get a new hinge, loads of hardware stores have these readily available, simple swap out.
B&Q, Homebase and Screwfix will have standard cabinet hinges.

If you've ever caulked you'll know it's not an issue.
