Thanks for the replys guys.
Van, you lost me a bit talking about teflon tape on barbed fittings.

For the barbed fittings 4-10 wraps of Teflon Tape evenly across the threads will seal them well. Enough so that with a little pressure the threads don't press through right away. I usually thread about half way so their is teflon tape still uncompressed on the threads

If the outleft from my standpipe (threaded male connector sticking out underneath my tank about 1" long) needs to be connected to the vinyly hose, do I wrap the threaded connector with the teflon tape first?
