    SUMP Build with PVC

    When running the pipping for the flow of a sump is it wise to use pvc glue. I just wanna double check on this one. I am going to go ahead and state NO. But opinions are nice. For the flow I also wanna check to make sure it will work. I have a cs102 which is 1200gph with 2 double inch bulkheads, they will be traveling about 3 feet vertically into a 46 gallon sump. The return I have a mag 9.5 pushing through 3/4 pipping over a distance of 5 feet. I have no 90 degree angles on the return as well. I haven't installed it yet because I don't wanna screw up. Thank you.
