Plumbing works

I admit I'm a plumbing noob... Ok..here's the story..

Normally to glue pvc pipes together you use the solvent on both pipes before bring them together. I have a piping which is connected to an external pump. I did not glue the pipes correctly as I only applied solvent on one pipe before joining. As such now I'm told there are microbubbles from the inflow, possibly due to venturi effect from poorly plumbed piping. Is there anyway to stop this venturi besides applying silicon to all the joints? Is it possible to break apart the piping somehow and redo the joints? Or would I have to do a completely new set? :pinch:

Always something more important than fish.
