pvc pipes in tanks

[Incaico]

This may sound like a dumb question but is it safe to use the pvc glue to glue pipes together in an aquarium set up? I know usually they are pretty tight don't really need to be glued, but I have situation where it is a little loose and I wanted to glue it, but I want to make sure it will be safe. I'm planning on keeping mainly corals.

Thanks Wes! I just wanted to be sure.

Always glue your PVC connections, never leave any chance of a possible leak. the only PVC connection you dont glue would be the drain in the tank, if your tank is drilled that is. like a Durso style drain.
