Another alternative is to replace the first fitting on the inside with an PVC elbow and hard pump it up in the tank a little before using your lock-line, that way you'll be able to point your nozzles down making them more useful and should also be less obtrusive.
Would think with those light supports you could run the power wires and such through the tube. Is that not possible?

The loc-line hasn't been an issue so far, but that's something to consider, thanks! I've got the returns aimed upward to break the surface better though as I don't really need them for internal water movement at least for now. (2x mp40s + 6212 wavebox). I think the sump could potentially hold all of the backflow if it were ever necessary but I'm not positive.
I want to say there was a reason I didn't put the wires through the tube, maybe I just put it off as a to-do when I installed the controller. Either that or I had already ratcheted the lights on and couldn't squeeze the cable past the bolt. I do at least have a cable hole drilled beside the return lines.
