    Yeah they will, fine. Both are 3/8 or 1/2 (optional).
    Go for 1/2 though, looks sexier IMO, though i'm biased. ;)

    Pump wise, if you have the room and don't mind it not being powered off the 12v lines. Get a Ehiem 1250. Silence and power. Just quite big.
    Otherwise, get a DDCplus ;)

    Rad wise, you might wanna wait a bit for the Black Ice GT. They are supposed to be far better performing than any rad out judging by the specs. ;)
    If your in a rush, Black Ice Extreme 2, or Thermochill PA160 or PA240.

    they come tapped to accept a 1/2 or 3/8 barb.Just make damn shure you buy the right type of barb, as there are many and can often cross thread other bard types.

    Cross threading is bad.
    HWlabs site will tell your which to use.
