should drain hoses be as short as possible from bulkhead to sump. hoses that came with sump are long & drape down below sump before going back up to top. should i shorten them?

I would. Nothing like a vibrating pump to rub a hole in a hose and spring a nasty leak while you're away for the weekend.

I try to keep things as neat and tidy as possible. No loose cords, tubes, hoses or wires. Everything is tie wrapped and held in place with brackets or rubber isolators.
