WD100 help please

[Tbabcock]

Ok guys this is my first set up with a wet dry system. Got back into the hobby and started up a 55gal show reef tank. Everything is going well, now 6 weeks into the set up and im finding alot of salt creep on the flex return hose at the overflow box. I have tried jamming this hose in the best i can without braking the fitting.. any idea on how to get this small leak to stop?
Is it possible to use a small amount of plumbers tape around the hose fitting before i slide it in or are there other tricks to this?
Thank you for your help.

What type of hose and fitting
I use lagoona no kink hose and sch80 pvc barbed fittings. Used some pvc glue slid it on and then a hose clamp. No leak.

What type of hose and fitting
I use lagoona no link hose and sch80 pvc barbed fittings. Used some pvc glue slid it on and then a hose clamp. No leak.

I was also going to say pic glue. It stopped my leak this week. Spent hour on it using hose clamps nothing worked until a slapped some glue on it.

Just let glue dry for about 15 min

This is the stock flex hose from eshopps that snuggly fits up in the bulkhead of the overflow box. Should i really glue it in?

I would. I would rather replace bulk head and hose then have any leak. I have 6foot by 2 foot rectangle on my hard wood floor because I had a bulk head that had salt creep. Had no idea till I took tank down how bad it was

Good point thanks for the help.
I will glue it up on my water change so it will have good drying time and i clean the hose back up.
