Aquareef 400 help!

[Kial]

hey guys
So I picked up my brand new aquareef 400 tank today, got it set up and filled with fresh water to do a leak test and make sure everything was functioning.
All seemed ok apart from a small drip from one of the fittings. But when I turned the return pump on it starts leaking like mad where the hose from the return pump attaches to the return pipe housed in the weir.

It seems the fittings just do not connect as they should.

Anyone got any advice?

Thanks

Is there sand on the bulkheads?

No there isn't. I've filled it with just water to check for leaks so everything is clean a new

I'll try get one later. I think I've actually found the problem,seems to be that the fittings were not threaded correctly and it's actually slightly bent.
Not exactly what you expect when you pay $2000 aud for a tank. Mate of mine has made me some new parts today so hopefully will be solved later today!

So I've sored the leak. I had to get new fittings and do some diy to make it fit.
