Welcome to R2R
Do a Google search on PVC repair.
In most cases you have to cut out the glued pieces and start again. If you're asking how to detach glued pieces, you can, it requires a heat gun and care.
Welcome and good luck with your issue.

Hello I have questions I fix my pipe w a T I primed and glued it and I have a link how do I fix it
There's a glue called Red Hot that you might be able to apply to the outside. The only other option is to cut the pipe and reglue new fittings using couplings where you cut the pipe.

You’ll either have to start over or you can apply the blue pvc around the joint and it should seal

Welcome!

Good advice on this thread already for you. When we put in our plumbing, we knew things would change so there is little to no glued joints. Instead compression steel (titanium underwater, might be overkill) bands tighten fittings. We are also slowly transitioning from clear tubing (from local hardware store) to black tubing (from BRS) due to lighting sump for refugium is also growing gunk in our lines.

Glad you joined! Good luck
