Plumbing help!!!

Below is a picture of my sump plumbing. The left pipe and the third are 1 1/4 PVC that goes into a 1in bulkhead. It comes out as a 1 in. The second from the left is a 3/4 in return. It is teed to feed the third chamber. One ball valve is for the chamber and one is for a 1/2 in nipple to use as a drain for water changes. The last is an open 1 in pipe that will be used as an emergency drain in case anything gets clogged. It will be extended into the third chamber. There is a ehiem 1262 return pump. I have an octopus xs 200. I will have two 4 in filter socks on the two siphon drains. The emergency one will be open. Any questions or suggestions would be appreciated.

I glued the pieces. I have also siliconed in a holder for two 4in filter bags on the two main intake tubes. Any thoughts on these?

make sure you support that "return manifold" part so its not just dangling there.
