Thanks, Rich.
You're probably right. It is always difficult to assemble threaded pipe in this manner and get all the valves to line up properly. I may not have seated one of the connections properly. My first step will be to carefully re-assemble the manifold before starting to replace any componenets.

My first guess would be that you may not have connected the various parts properly when you assembled the manifold. If you used teflon tape, it's easy to wrap the tape the wrong way. Pipe-joint compound is easier to use. The easiest way to find a leak would be to pressurize the manifold.
Try this. Disconnect the feed hoses from the three tanks. You'll probably have to put some kind of plug in the ends to keep water from draining from the tanks. A cork should do. Take a short section of hose and connect two of the hose barbs together. For the third, run the hose up to the deck and into a bucket of water. Siphon some water down the hose and then connect it to the remaining barb. you'll now have a little pressure in your water system. You should be able to observe a water leak wherever the problem exists.
