I've got 1/2" clearflex tubing; The tubing slips on very easily and without clamps leaks profusely.

The pump's 3/8 barb doesn't leak anymore, and I can order the proper barb at Mcmaster; I'll probably order it tomorrow along with 25" of tubing; maybe I'll try a manometer.

I seem to have eliminated all leaks now, though I had to put the pump outlet back to the original position; I don't know why but the o-ring was leaking considerably, and I stripped one of the screw holes trying to tighten it. It works fine in the original position though.

Another thing I have to ask about.. theres this funny brown stuff inside my dangerden blocks now. I seem to remember a post about it before but I can't find it. For now I'm just leak testing with tap water, but I don't see why that would leave brown deposits in the waterblock.
