1/2" ID and 1/2" OD

Any big advantages to change my tubing from 1/2" OD to 1/2" ID?
I have a Chevette HC, Silverprop Block and a Hydor L30II.

Probably not... you might see a 1C improvement, but then maybe not even that much. If you were running some serious pump, then yes. Are you using 1/2" OD barbs though?

What kind of tubing are you running that's going to be big enought to fit over 1/2" ID?

The barbs on the Waterblock and pump are 1/2". But the barbs on the T-Line and HC are smaller, if I'm correct. I'm not at home, away on vacation right now. But I'm pretty sure that they are samller because my 3/8 tubing fit easily.
