The important thing is that it causes ripples at surface to increase gas exchange. That said it looks like you might want to tilt it up a little.
Good luck.

Mount it about 3 inches below the surface and tilt it up so you get nice surface agitation across the tank.

Does it look to strong
So I am going to mix it up a bit...

I like my return pump to create surface agitation, and my wave maker to stir up the bottom. Kind of blow stuff out from around the base of my rocks.

As long as it is moving water, you are doing good. Start with low flow, and if things are not going well, increase the flow. Just my opinion Mate!

You can point it at the glass as well. The glass will deflect it and create movement. Your tank will tell you what is working. Movement is the main thing.

I have had it blowning across the bottom lightly for the past 40min to stir up the sand and already there is a massive improvement in the sand it's cleaning my white sand butifily thanks for the tip mate I'm so happy
