Yes, it's fine to use for salt or fresh..
Use the "clear" type primer if you don't want the purple look of the normally used joint primer in your tank.

Now that I know it's safe..... Which do I apply first the Primer or Cement then Primer.... I heard Cement first then Primer, Then I read Primer First then Cement last.... Which is the best way to do it?

Cut the pipes to size. A square cut (right angle to the pipe) is best. Bevel the edge and deburr. Wipe the pipe with a clean cloth to remove any debris. Pipes should be dry before using primer or glue. Prime the pieces then glue them together holding for 15 - 20 seconds for the glue to stiffen. Wipe off excess glue if necessary. Instructions should be on the side of the primer/glue can. Dry time can vary with the glue manufacturers specs, but almost all cure in 24 hours unless temp is below 50'F. Rinse well before use.
