It should do fine in the 90g. His tank mates are a Coral Beauty, smallish Foxface, Ruby Headed Wrasse, 2 Percs, PJ Cardinal, Yellow Watchman Goby, and two cleaner shrimp.

![]() I have a Sedra pump powering two reactors in the sump, which is kind of silly since I have a Barracuda return pump that is only using about 70% capacity. I want to "T" off one of the return lines to feed the reactors.
My question is: How long should I allow the Weld-On P-70 primer and PVC 795 to dry before going back on-line? The can says 30 minutes cure time, but I don't trust that to a tank full of fish and corals. Anybody had any experience using Weld-On on a running tank? 24 hours or less/more?

![]() You would be good to go in 15 mins. I have used both plumbing a bunch of friends tanks. I always use the prime the fittings and let it dry completly before glueing. Be genourous with the glue and make sure to give the pipe a quater turn to make sure their is no air bubbles and the glue is spread evenly and then use paper towel to wipe off the excess glue. You should have no leaks and a nice clean look that way.

Thanks Ray. I wanna make sure I'm understanding you. I've used Weld-On plenty of times. It's not the cure time of the glue or the procedure I'm worried about, it's the effect of the glue on a tank full of animals that worries me. Am I understanding that after 15 minutes of curing there was no problem on an inhabited tank?

Thanks. Nope, I've never seen any babies. They probably hatch out at night and are skimmed off.

![]() I had finished doing some plumbing on my first tank and I must have let the parts sit drying for at least 30 min. I wanted to know if it was still wet and decided to put my nose to one end of the plumbing and 'take a wiff'.
I damn near fell over everything went black. I don't think I had used more glue than needed either I'm just saying the stuff was still potent. 30 min seems too soon to me. |

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking: If you can still smell it, it's not fully cured. I think I'll leave it until no odor left.
