Slowing filter return

I just moved my betta into a 10 gallon eclipse aquarium with a PFE-1 filter. The return is quite turbulent and my betta is not liking it. I have placed pantyhose knee-hi over the return like a sock and that seems to has stabilized the tank. Do you think this could be a long term solution? Or can you think of a reason why this would be a problem for my fish?

Tomorrow I my shrink it a bit to make it more attractive.

Hi Welcome to FishLore
I've done that to slow the current for my bettas. I've also shoved a peice of filter sponge up the out take so it hangs in the water.
Here's a couple of threads about it:
How To: Slow Down Current From A Filter
What to use to block filter current?
We'd love to see pics of your tank and Betta, so post some soon
Good luck!
