I might run a poly filter for a week or two but if everything is looking ok then it is probably not a huge issues.

Were the hose clamps submerged or out of water? If they were out of the water, I wouldn't worry about it. If they were submerged, you might want to run a polyfilter, but it should be fine. Good thing is, you caught it and fixed it.
