Pvc glue how long to wait for air use.

[slythy]

I created a 1” pvc airline for my skimmer to outside my house and glued the fittings.

since this will be used for fresh air in my skimmer how long should I wait for the glue fumes to stop, i assume they arent good to mix into my reef.

With using it for air? I guess ive glued with water and used it almost immediately…. Its just weird thinking it will mix the fumes with the water aggressively

Just dont want to kill everything. Lots of critters and corals i like

if you feel more comfortable ,blow it out before attaching to skimmer

I like this setup, 2 hour should be more than enough. Is that a 3d printed screen?

So the screen is a 2 part 3d printed piece i designed. It splits half way at the skinny part via really coarse threads. One part glues to the pvc and has a built in mesh so i can sandwich a little bit of air filter material between the two. and the other “ball” section is filled with carbon. It allows me to change out the carbon every once in a while and the white thing is a bird vent cover.
