Default Question on replacing stock pump on an AP 24 with a Maxijet

I am going to replace the stock pump in my Aquapod 24 with the Maxijet 900.
When I do the swap, the out take outlet on Maxijet pump is smaller the the stock pump out take outlet. Which makes the the tubing supplied with the Aquapod too big a fit over outlet. Should I just buy a small clamp to attach it to the Maxijet?
Anybody that has made the switch, please let me know what you did to resolve that issue.

Thanks in advance.

I thought when I did mine they were the same size. I might have just gotten a new piece of hose that was the correct size and though.

I drew it tight with those plastic electrical wire holders.

What I did do is bought some cheap plumbing o rings to put on Maxijet outlet, fit tubing over that (snug fit) and used two plastic wire ties and tested it and it seems to hold without no leakage.
I am going to work with that for now.
Thanks for the suggestions.
