Totally thought the pvc glue was cured after 24 hours in the summertime. Rinsed the thing a couple times, didn’t smell anything, so installed it. Ran the thing for a while, and started smelling glue. Now fish are dying. Doing a big water change. Anything else y’all recommend?

That sucks I’m sorry. Maybe remove what had the glue on it if you’re able to and hope for the best. Some people say wait well past the cure time just to be safe. Like a few days past
