Two things:

#1: if your barb is smaller than your hose ID, no clamp will prevent a leak.

#2: the grey fittings you get from Home Depot, are made of polypropylene. Silicone glue (Goop) won't stick to it. Try to stick to nylon (white/yellow) fittings, where you need to use an adhesive. For that Y, if you can't find one, you might have to use a threaded PVC tee, and screw in your barbs.
