red sea reefer plumbing

Hey all, I am currently working on setting up a RS 300XL G2. The return hose that it comes with is 5/8 inch and my return pump hose barb is 3/4 MNPT x 3/4 barb. So, I need a 3/4 MNPT X 5/8 barb? does anyone know where I can find one of these? Thank you.

Not sure that will be necessary. So the barb is probably 3/4 inch at its deepest point, so with a 5/8 inch silicone hose you should be able to snug it as far on the barb as possible so there is a snug fit. This is better as it will prevent it from slipping off

Ehhh, this hose that Red Sea sent me has a pretty thick outer wall so I'm not sure I will be able to get it to fit on a 3/4 inch barb. I guess I can try heating it up. Thanks for the reply.
