CAD light artisan II center beam

If after you've checked everything and it still leaks, then you may want to get clamps to go around the pipe at the fitting. Brs sells them. I use them for the pump side of the hose.

Hi. Are you sure it's coming from the tube and not the pvc pipe between the drilled hole? I did not have this problem. However, I did have leakage as a result of the pipes not being tightly turned.
So, is the water coming out when the return pump is on or is coming out once the overflow is filled? One thing I did was connect the plastic pipe first before I screwed the pvc to the connecting pipe.

Thanks for the note! I inspected closely the water did comes between the soft tube connection with PVC. I even changed to a stiffer flex tube but it still came, only slower, and I cannot tight more on the clamp.
I'm thinking to find a spigot X barb fitting but not sure the size will match

I will run to homedepot tomorrow.. I'll try to find a barb connecter, pliers large enough to force on the clamps-I do have them laying around, or silicone to glue them together

Clamps will work. Just get some that will not erode if you can.

Thanks! I'll shoot for that! I have the plastic one but my pliers aren't large enough. I can only clamp it hand tight and that did not stop the leakage

did the instruction tell you to install the center beam?

I had a CADLight 42G. It comes with center beam, but the instruction doesn't mention it at all. I email their customer service about it, they said the found it's not necessary after they finalized with manufacturing. So I didn't install it. It has been 1+ year, works fine without it.

You should be able to reach the plastic clamp with some pliers. Have you tried that?

I only have a small one from the IKEA tool box. It is a hair shorter than the width of clamp

It did. I also emailed customer service. They told me it's normal that is shorter so that you are able to slide it into the stand... I end up shimming it with Acrylic chip
