First, #WelcometoR2R!!! This may or may not apply to your specific situation, but have you considered the metric equivalent (for example 5mm is close to 3/16 - I'm not sure of your application or how specific your measurements were)? Many aquarium parts are made in Asia or Europe where metric is the standard and may require a conversion for some applications.
Unfortunately i dont think youll even find 1/4" to 3/4" plastic adapters.
The largest ive found would be a 1/4" to 1/2" JG reducer. I use it on a cobalt MJ1200 pump to feed my DI carts.
What i would do is build your own little fitting manifold with a 3/16" to 1/2" reducer(if its made) use a piece of 1/2" tubing then a 1/2" to 3/4" fitting.

Do you mind using multiple fittings to achieve this goal? You should be able to stretch the 3/16" over a 1/4" barb fitting like this...
Then use the following fitting options to up it to 3/4" or 1"

Thank you very much, JoshH!!
For my purpose that will be fine, and infinitely better than what I feared might end up being no solution at all!
I very much appreciate your showing me the chain of fittings (which I'm sure I can take the tiny step of getting tubing to connect), as fittings are a foreign language to me.
I do want to go to a 1" airline please.
One thing I'm unlear on: At the bottom of the chain you show a 3/4" to 1/4" reducer. Then you show links to 3/4" and 1" Reducers; are these /in addition/ to the 3/4" one you pictured just before them, or now that I've made up my mind to go for a 1" to 1/4" inch reducer, should I get one of those instead? (The one I see that looks to me like the one you pictured is https://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/1-x-1-4-sch-40-pvc-reducer-bushing-flush-style-spig-x-fipt-438-128.html )

Worth noting that you will need 1/4" RODI line to connect these murlok fittings together, not very much in whatever colour you want. A few feet should do the trick and seeing as its like $0.26 a foot, you won't be breaking the bank on it.
Also what kind of project is this for exactly if you don’t mind me asking??
