I have a 40G breeder split into 3. The baffles have a 1/2 hole in the back bottom of the tank so I can put a spray bar for flow in each compartment. For now, I'm putting my breeding clownfish in the left chamber. The second chamber will house coral frags for now and the third will house live rock and a Sicce 3 for the spray bar. I'm running a CPR job fuge for filtration. My question is do you think I should glue the pvc fittings. I'd rather not. I'm thinking the Sicce 3 will not blast the fittings off. They seem to be a tight fit. What do you think? And if I need to glue the pvc, how long do I need to let it cure before cycling the tank? See my tank below.

I wouldn't glue them. Movement and pressure aren't a factor here. The plumbing is under the surface so no salt creep issues.

Thanks for the input. I'll go that route.
