What is the best clear PVC glue to use? I sucked it up and paid the colored PVC premium and don't want purple seams on my yellow pipes.

Any clear pvc primer and glue you can get from hardware store
This is the brand carried in all the hardware stores around here.

I have always trusted WeldOn 711 clear cement with Weldon P70 clear primer… it’s way overkill for this low pressure application, but there’s something to be said for peace of mind!
Its recommended and also comes in clear.

People will swear you don't need primer for the low pressure aquarium pumps we use, but I have always used primer. Clear primer and glue.

edit: Home depot doesn't stock the clear primer. Lowes does though.

Go to an irrigation/plumbing supply warehouse, the primer and cement I mentioned above are both clear, as are offerings from numerous other brands.
You’ll only see purple primer at the hardware store because many places require it for work inspection purposes of home water plumbing! (so the inspector can quickly see that the plumber actually used primer/didn’t forget to glue any joints)

This is what I used on my mixing station and 180G.
I found it locally at Ace Hardware so I didn't have to wait for shipping.
