Hi All,
I've spent the past 3 days setting up my new tank and i've been enjoying it, but now i am stuck and kind of feel crappy about it.

- Leak on return pipe - I've made it snug, i loosened it up a little, and i even made sure i did not over-torque it. However, i still have a leak. I will reach out to Red Sea about a replacement part, but my friend recommended some plumbers tape, which i will go buy later today.
- Tubing from return pipe not fitting output of Vectra return pump - I watched on YouTube that Ecotech is aware that it isn't plug and play and said they would find a solution in the future. For now, what should i do? Would some PVC pipe and a barb work? Should i give up on this return pipe and just buy another one?
