I ran into the same problem yesterday when trying to plumb my external octopus skimmer. It used metric plumbing and i didnt have any. I finally just grinded and sandpapered down similar size pipe until it fitted in place. glad to say my skimmer is working leak free today.

I did the same thing with my Reeflo Orca. Took a Dremel with a sanding drum and widened out the inside of a female connector. Then lots of PVC glue to fill in any gaps!
 
That is the same exact thing that I am trying to do. Did you do it on the feed line where the barb is supposed to go? any pics?
