Did my return line last night and hope this will work. Tell me what you think I didn't want to hard plumb it because I don't want the pipe in the way of things. I feel like this could work out ok. Just don't know if it going up then back down will be an issue.

I have used zip ties for as long as I can remember and never had an issue. I use the zip ties that have a nylon tang so it will not corrode. Using a hose clamp under water will begin to rust rapidly even if it is made from stainless

I think they are called snap grip or something like that.. They are a pain to get off and sometimes they end up breaking after you fiddle with it long enough.. I still prefer the much cheaper ty wraps..
All personal preference...

Ok thank you everyone! I was wanting to "clamp" the hose on the return pump but I didnt want to put a metal on in there obviously and didnt know I had options. I think Ill just roll with a zip tie.
