Hi guys was wondering if there is any aquarium safe pvc glue out there or if it just ok to use normal pvc glue to plumb your sump etc. thx!

I have always used regular pvc cement and primer and never had an issue. I'll let it cure/dry for 24 hours before adding water.

Normal PVC 'glue" is fine. It is not really glue, but solvent as it kind of melts the PVC slightly. It is fine in home plumbing and fine in a tank. Resist the urge to put your nose in the can as that has been done to death. It has also resulted in death, but that is for another thread.

Anything suitable for potable water is fine
