Default glue for pvc

I'm putting together a top-off system and need to put some pvc for the bracket. My question is, is it safe to use pvc glue for the tank? If not what other glue will work with pvc?

Thanks

PVC pipe glue is fine to use, just make sure you give it at least 24 hours to fully cure.

I use a 2 part epoxy that is aquarium safe. You can buy it at Wal-Mart for less than $3 and it is fully dry in 15 minuets, it is great.

To glue the PVC useing the primer and agent and let dry over night.

To attach the PVC to the tanks side i would use Aquarium safe Silicone.
