Hello Everyone,

First post here on Reef2Reef, love the content!

I've recently decided to I wanted to add a manifold into my system as well as change the routing of my return plumbing. My main concern is the PVC glue/fumes polluting the water column and killing all my coral. I know people say wait 24-48 hours for the glue to "Cure" but in past experience there is still a lingering smell of glue fumes even after that amount of time. If there is still a fume smell is everything safe to be plumbed into the rest of the system? I'm assuming no, but how is it possible to put everything together and ensure it is safe and ready?
