No problem! Just one thing, if you're using compression fittings, be sure to tighten them over the first inital month or so as some tubes are known to shrink (not sure exactly which ones though). Have fun putting your rig under water!

Haha thanks! Hey one more thing though should the clamps be the same size as the tubes or a size smaller?
Example: I plan on using tubing thats 3/8" ID and 1/2" OD

When it comes to barbs I use 1 size up for them (ie 1/2 inch barbs with 3/8 id tubing) more secure and will never leak.

ok I can see the argument for barbs over compression for price but that does not mean that one should not get some angled fittings I like 3-way 90's that way it covers all the angles



without fittings



And with the fittings as you can see there is a major improvement
