Put a valve on the drain and "tune" it to the input rate. Possibly stick a piece of airline hose into the drain also (from above). The valve thing usually works best when you have a secondary drain, just in case. Though I've literally never had one clog, your drain is exposed to the algae screen directly, so it's possible.

If the holes around the light fixture are sealed up, that's a start. Hopefully it's "well" sealed up?
