PVC aquascaping

[ecam]

Having learned a hard lesson on chemicals and fishes. I'm asking before doing. I want to aquascape using PVC.




If I need joints like the v in the middle. Do I use pvc glue or aquarium epoxy to secure that joint?

You can use the pvc glue.

You can use the pvc glue.

So how long do I let it cure/dry? B4 putting it in my tank?

24hrs

When I glue a joint I will run water thru drain pipe ina n hour if it a pressure line I'll let it sit a few hours. The VOCs are volitalized fairly quickly. If there's no livestock skimming with remove it quite fast too.

Recommendation is to let the glue dry for 24 hours, in a pinch you can do it quicker as Bax said.

Given it looks like you're just setting up the tank glue the joints you need and then just wait the extra day for peace of mind.

Looks like it will be a pretty cool scape!
