Plumbing help

[Seggsy]

Helping a friend set up a 65g tank this weekend.  It is drilled and has some plumbing - it has some white pipe (is that PVC or ABS???), but it has been cut, so won't reach the sump.

a)  where can I find more of the pipe - I assume just Home Depot?
b)  what should we use for glue/adhesive that is reef safe?

Thanks!

you need pvc and pvc glue safe for potable water.. and also the purple pvc primer, prime the joints first, then glue.

home hardware is the best place i have found. and white pipe is pvc wahoo. the glue will be reef safe as long as you let it dry for 24H. Goodluck

Home depot on Walker rd, don't go to the baby home depot near us!

Walker is even better - right near my buddy.
Do I really need to wait 24 hours on the glue curing???

Same here.. Once you slip a joint together, it should be good to go..

Maybe it was just the glue I used though.
