What I do is take a piece of filter floss and an elastic band and put the floss in front of the filter outflow. It may take a little adjusting to get it just right. This will disperse the flow for the fish, but won't impede the filter's function.

Hi necromancerr, welcome to fishlore!

Barbrella solution is exactly what I would do. I have tried it in my hospital tanks with other non-adjustable HOBs. It may not look nice, but if you are careful and ingenious you can keep the sponge out of sight.
