Trying to figure out what's needed to use standard tubing on my Osmolator instead of the included black plastic tubing so I can utilize the Mur Lok fittings on my sump and ATO reservior. Thanks in advance.
Anyone convert Osmolator 3155 to use RO tubing?

I've not done it, but can you not simply heat a section of the tunze tubing in hot water and slide it over a section of the ro tubing that then fits into your fittings? Just use a small section from the tunze pump to your fittings?
The Tunze tubing is likely metric sized. Most plastic tubing can be (for low pressure applications) forced onto the "wrong" size fitting pretty easily with some heat to soften it up. Buy the right fitting for the push-connect (which is sized on OD) which matches the closest ID of any barb fittings.
Umm let me see if I can find the part.... BRS sells it.

I use the reducer from Bulkreefsupply. Then use the 1/4" acrylic tubing to come straight out of the top of the ATO tank. Then a 90 connected to the top of the acrylic tube to RO line. It works great and keeps the pump upright.
