If you go this route, keep in mind that the drilled hole will be spraying water while your return pump is on, so plan where you want it pointing
Oh I see. My return line also has a hole on top of it.

And I had no idea about the hole spraying water while the pump is on... I'll have to take a look into it. I think I'll clean my tank today and take a few pics and show you guys what my tank's return line and drain pipe looks like!
