The guys that answer yes, it will be fine are the ones that are trolling you so you better open up your eyes

i just plumbed a new tank. I did a dry fit a few weeks before and glued some pieces I knew were good to go. After getting the tank in place and glueing the remaining pieces I fired up the tank. Two return pumps running identical runs to the returns jets.

2 weeks later I noticed salt creep by one of the joints on both sets of plumbing, same joint each side. Turns out I thought that one was glued originally and didn’t check when I did the finishing glue.

Ran for two weeks without any glue, scary, would not recommend but it worked. Water did start to make its way through though obviously.

This right here is why people don’t like going to a certain Facebook group for advice/input anymore. We prefer to come here because there are less trolls. Or at least there used to be. I never imagined the day would come where I had to block so many people (which I have done for this user name) on R2R. Please…do your part and keep this forum a safe and pleasant place for us polite and personable reefers.
And I don't see how answering a question is considered trolling these days?
So how about we all take a step back and breath.
