PVC help

Do you guys use the normal PVC cement and cleaner to stick the pipes together? is it reef safe?

Thanks

I've never had a problem, though I do rinse them out just in case.

It's fine, though I use the blue versioin cement/cleaner all-in-one. Much better when building systems, faster getting things done. alson, you can "fix" bad cuts (slightly short,lol).
