I dont think one is any safer than the other,But I've used it and as long as you give it plenty of drying time it's OK.STEVE

sounds pretty risky to me.

all pvc glue is ok to use on tank lines...
they use it on city water supplys and housing lines....its ok to use .. as long as you do as instuctions say and allow plenty of drying time...

I bought an Excalibur Protien Skimmer and half of it WAS pvc...they used glue to build the thing. It'll be fine...Anyway, the 24 hour rule is necessary whether its a fish tank or house plumbing, if you want the glue to cure.
