I just purchased a varios 6 return. I have a Red Sea Reefer 250 and the soft plumbing looks like it's 5/8 and the barb fitting looks to be 1 1/4. What would I need to get at home depot to make this work?

Same issue - just bought this pump. Barb fitting for pump is 1” or 1.25” id . Reefer is 16mm (5/8”) id on return hose.
maybe a 1” to 5/8” reducer?

I found this


Basically I believe this will is 16 mm to 22mm. You can take the bar that comes with this out and posibbly put a 1inch to 1 1/4inch connector on it. And then get a 1 1/4 inch barb need to check all the measurements though

Brs has a 3/4” mtp to 1” barb. Think this would plug in to that Red Sea part?

I believe I’d you get the adapter I showed. And remove the barb that comes with it you can fit a 1 inch connection I believe it’s like 32mm or something but I don’t think it’s threaded
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
