I would've made the filter socks a little bit lower. Once they clog, water might start splashing out of the sump depending on how fast the water is flowing

Yes, hose clamp on both ends. You can't pull it out now, but when that hose gets old and stiff, it comes out pretty easily and you don't want a surprise one day
