what is the best pvc primer ands cement for our plumbing needs. one of the joints i want to pvc will be inside of the tank and the rest outside. i was thinking of the Oatey purple primer and the regular clear pvc cement. are those reef tank safe?
also I am installing a bulkhead to loc-line adapter to be able to run a Y return which is threaded that will be about 5 -7 inches into the tank so i'm not to worried about leaks from there, but i am also going to be using a barber fitting that is female threads so i got a male thread to pvc slip adapter and that will be out side the tank. I definitely don't want that leaking, is it necessary to use pvc cement on the threaded pieces or just thread seal tape or simply just thread it together bare?
