I drill it below the water line to avoid creating

I've not experienced that. I get flow out of the hole. Nothing goes
in.

When I had the hole under the water line it kept getting clogged with
green stuff.

You can't beat the ripple on the surface, especially if you have
halides!!

If it is coming down the return line you can drill a small hole in it
above the water line to break the syphon. Makes a nice ripple on top
as well. The stupid check valves will always fail at some point. The
hole can get clogged as well if it is not big enough.
