I'll try to get under and get a good picture but...
My 90 reef ready tank came with barbed bulkheads. I've got everything plumbed with tubing and have hose clamps over the connections. The clamp is tight and the hose seems snug- but must not be enough. I have a slow leak between the hose and the barbs when the return pump is on for more than a couple minutes. Due to height issues, I've filling the sump return area and then pumping the water from the sump up to the display to fill. I've almost got the display filled now. The water slowly leaks when the pump is on for more than a few minutes. The bulkhead itself isn't leaking, I can see the water coming out of the top of the hose. My pump is a DCT4000 running on the lowest setting.
I'm looking for a good, easy to do fix. (I know this isn't the 'other forum' but do know that I am aware of slip bulkheads and PVC plumbing, just not what I've got to work with here. Since the tank manufacturer included the barbed fittings, I'm wary of ordering another bulkhead that may not fit the hole properly) I had barbed fittings on my previous set up with no issues...
