Plumbing: leakproof res fittings?

What do you guys use to get through the res wall?
My res is pretty tall and there is some bulging when it's full, so I am really concerned about a good point of connection that won't leak

The local hydro store has ebb-n-flow fittings with 3/4" pipe thread on both ends. I could use them, but my whole system is 1/2" Slip, so this would be a fitting nightmare. Is there anything else I could get at a hardware store?

Would it make a big difference in pressure if I run pipes through res walls or if I run them 3' up and down through the lid?
