I've never had any luck with plumbing places for anything like that. Aquarium shops etc.....maybe.

If it's just cracked say on the bend and not broken away completely then maybe you could try fixing the leak first?
Not sure if that is a tank outlet or a pump inlet but you should be able to get one online next day delivery if you can't find one local.

Just replace it all with brass from a plumbing shop.
A double male 1/2" threaded joiner to female to male reducer and then a ball lever valve and a male hoselock garden tap fitting.
Plus if you had used some type of shut off valve from your tank then you would not have lost 500 liters of water either.

Nice one ;)

Your best bet is to go to a local plumbers merchants with a counter, show them the broken part and explain what you want, sorry no links, sending this from a crap phone so difficult. OR look in a screwfix or toolstation catalogue ( not online, the book is easier if not sure what you are looking for )

It would be easier for me to take a picture of my tank than explain but not home at the moment.

It will leak. I bought a used 400 litre tank with one fitted and it leaked. I replaced it and it leaked again. A plumber friend told me that they aren't designed to have that weight of water pushing on them (or something like that).
