I would like to use the maxi-jet pump, but I also want to connect to 1/2" ID tubing. How can I use the Max-jet1200 w/ 1/2" tubing?
Any suggestions?

I can tell you for sure the outlet works buy pushing on 1/2 inch hose. I don't know the inlet size but 1/2 will not fit.

You can stretch 1/2" over the inlet by warming the tubing.
My method was to take a piece of copper the size of the inlet...warm the tubing, put the tubing on the copper pipe, put both in the fridge, wait...pull it out and it would be the size of the inlet of the pump.
After all was said and done, the tubing was stretched to perfection and fit perfectly onto the pump inlet and has been working flawless ever since.

the inlet is actually 1/2" but the outlet is 3/4 you can easily make your own adapter, just rig something up from home depot

actually elekt, you got that backwards 
the inlet is 3/4" and the outlet is 1/2". be careful when you clamp down that the clamp is centered over the appropriate fitting so you dont break the plastic fittings. a little insurance in the form of some silicone fittings or perhaps some marine goop would go along way in my book. you can adapt it with some parts from home depot
