You can try one two things. Try the first first. Either try to face the spray bar to the back of the tank wall. Or buy this outlet. I changed this on my 2213 (which blasted my fish and plants around) and now it's ultra gentle.

If you are using a spray bar just make the holes bigger.

If you don't have a spray bar get one and follow the above!

Try putting a hard ornament such as a cave or something on top of where the hole is in the sand. That way there is not hole because it is hitting a hard surface.

Yep, thats the Eheim installation kit 2. It's around £14. Its a very comprehensive kit. Well worth the money.
