I plan to do some alterations to my plumbing on my sump, but I'm not sure how long I need to leave the pump off so the glue doesn't poison the fish and corals.
Does anyone know the duration PVC glue dries that will be safe for the tank?

Thank you

I think cure time is different depending on brand. Some say 2 hours for full cure. Does it not say on the label? I have some oatey in my garage. I will check in a bit. Temp also changes the cure time a bit...

I typically run water through in 20 minutes afterwards with no issues. Well I never really timed it actually, but normally by the time I finish and clean up I just start up the pump. Not sure how long that is.
