I've used rebar, lead weights and pipe tied to unweighted hose. I've since switched to self-weighted hose for all my applications. It lays along the bottom of the pond and I have never snagged the self weighted hose like the unweighted hose, even with weights tied to it.

I'll use unweighted hose above the waterline, but switch to the self-weighted hose at or close to the water line.
