Should work, CPVC works just as good as PVC.

thanks for the quick response and also u think the glue would work too or should i just stick with the normal purple primer and blue glue

cpvc uses different glues than pvc, while pvc glue might stick, I wouldn't count on long term adhesion. The CPVC shouldn't be any worse for your tank than PVC glue.
