Plumbing help

How long do I need to wait for the glue to dry on pvc for putting water in the tank?

However long it tanks to fill your tank up after your finished plumbing the tank.

Had water flowing through mine in less than an hour.

How much deeper would the ocean be if it didn't have sponges?

Oh wow, ok. I am a little nervous about using that glue and it possibly coming into contact with the water.

I've never had any issues, the cement dries pretty quick. It never hurts to give it a couple hours though.

When reading bunches of information about plumbing back when setting up my tank I remember reading that you should let it sit for 24 hours before use (ie turning on water pressure). I also use primer and glue. If you're just using glue, then I would let it sit 24 hours.
