There is really no big reason to glue it in place. Fit it in snug and it wont leak. Never know if you will want to do something different in the future.

Do you know if salt will creep up

Hello and thanks, what about does salt creep up?

If water leaks there does it fall into the sump? If so do not glue it. Salt creep will eventually seal the pvc.

snug the top in,should be minimal to none,it's the splash below that will create salt spray
