I believe I'm set up just fine... This is my problem...
How to connect this airline size tube to the T off of my return. I can't find anything at HD or Lowes so far. Several things would work. I just need some sort of reducer from 3/4", or 1/2" to the Airline tube size. Any thoughts on where to find and buy locally?

Anyone? I'm having no luck here finding a reducer...

Thats an option... I'm going to try a different HD this evening to see if I have any better luck. Thanks

Cool... Thanks... if they are open on Saturdays I may just run up there to grab one and check out a LFS I don't normally get to see while I'm at it.

I don't think that john guest fittings work well with soft flexible tubing. However, you can use a john guest fitting to adapt to a piece of rigid 1/4" irrigation tubing then use a 1/4" double-barb connector to connect the rigid tubing to the flexible airline tubing.
You can get the rigid tubing and the double-barb connectors in the irrigation section at home depot. The john guest fittings are also at home depot, over with all the brass and nylon fittings and adapters.
