That is the problem, it’s primer and not cement. You might be able to re do the bonds but it will be tough since connecting primed joints creates a little bit of a bond. I would recommend trying to undo the connections, clean as best as possible using some sandpaper, and then prime and cement using this PVC cement

i had a 210g w a basement sump and plumbed it through the wall and floor.
i used 2” drain and 1.5” flow cuz im extra. that was overkill for sure but i also had a huge pump and was able to have crazy flow and never worried about overfilling the tank cuz drain was always faster.
i see your pics, i recommend never cementing directly into the bulkheads. you’ll hate yourself if you ever have to replace anything or deal with a leak as you’re dealing with. i’d either use bulkheads that have thread on the inside so you can screw plumbing into the bulkhead (the approach i take in all my builds), or use ribbed bulkheads and use tubes to connect to the plumbing so you can easily disconnect with either approach.
as for the leak you have, i agree with the rest. use the right cement and you should be good
hope this helps!

Okay pm me. I would like you to get new pipe, unions, and bulkheads ready incase we can use what you already have. If you want to take the risk of what you already have I’m okay with that but I can’t guarantee anything in that case.
