PVC primer/glue reef safe?

[Reef Guy]

I got pvc primer and glue in alot of my pvc, is this reef safe? Can I just start running my reef water? Does it matter that i didnt put a check valve in my return?

From what I've read and seen in pictures on RC its completely safe. Hope I'm right. Someone else should know for sure.

after it's dry it's safe.
I try to rinse my glued joints in fresh water if possible.

it is reef safe, again, but when it is dried - there is something it gives off, though, so your skimmer might go crazy for awhile.

If you run your reef water right away, I would giev it sometime before you run it on your main tank.

I used glue etc once in making a spray bay, no dramatic side effects in the main display.

I got more side effects from that primer than my tank did

are your hands purple?

Yep it's fine once it dries, but I try to rinse it with fresh water first. Just like House!

I've used it for years, but I always wait at least 24 hours before I use it. Sso the glue is nice a cured and there is no way of getting anything into the tank.
