I didn't use any primer on my plumbing. Just lots of cement. But YMMV... I agree that you could go over some of the suction side joints with cement. If you get the "heavy duty" cement forumla it...

This is my method also. I make the line, then cut a little bigger. Then walk back and forth from my saw to the place where the trim goes. AFter 50 trips... I'm done! hehe

I see LR for sale a lot in our local club forum. If I buy this from another reefer, should I expect any significant die off or cycle? Or is that mostly an issue with LR from the LFS?
