The cure time specified is for it to be good for full operating pressures which can be hundreds of PSI. 30 minutes should be fine for aquarium needs.

I ran pvc to and from my sump a couple months ago, i waited a couple hours before running water through the lines and had no issues at all. pvc glue dries relatively fast when exposed to the air.

I end up giving it 12 hours to cure before turning the water back on, mostly because of jet lag.

I was more concern about the chemical used in the glue that may leak into the water. Considering I have lost most of my sps in the last 2 week. There's a new die off every day. So, I didn't want the situation to get worth from the glue.

anyway, water is back on, no leak. but, with 2 tee used for chiller and tlf phoban 150 running carbons, my flow rate seems to drop alot(sedra 5000!!!)
