Reef safe PVC thread sealant

I’m pretty sure I’m good but is this reef safe?

I wouldn't get any more in your system than you have to, but usually the "squeeze out" is on the air side not the water side

Non of the cements are reef safe, that being said, glue and wait at the least of 2 hour and up to 24 hours to be safe. These cements set up pretty quick

Plenty of time for a glue up and leak test

So you are doing a leak test today? You can do that with tap water. Just use a cap of seacheme prime when you fire up the system to get rid of any chlorine for the tap water.

Believe it or not it was easier to pump RODI water from my saltwater mixing station but thanks for the tip
