PVC Cement

[Lionfish718]

I am putting my sump together for my new tank and was wondering what PVC Cement brand do I use that is not toxic, and where do I get it?

any pvc cement that is good enough for your plumbing should be good enough for your tank
I used the brands homedepot sells and never had a problem

ok I just want to make sure they all say its toxic

thank you

Once it cures, it's safe to use in the tank I usually wait an hour after i put my plumbing together to start running water through it.

I used regular PVC cement from ace. I ran some water through the pipes before I attached them to my sump.

once it dries and hardens nothing to worry about.. just make sure u run wayer thru it first to get all the shavings out..

I recommend the clear primer. Blue primer is heinous. I wish some one told me before I plumbed my first tank.

i have set up many piping for sumps before and i dont know the brand. red label. usually any if ok. i never cared. i just made sure it was completely dry. i never use primer (the purple one) when i do it. some people say use cpvc glue but whatver. i was always good. never once saw a problem with water parameters or water colorations ect...
