I have a powerhead 808 in my 200 gal tank. I think there is an orange or yellow lever knob thing which you can move one way or another to increas/decrease the flow rate. one is for controlling flow. the other is for reversing flow. I forget which is which. maybe you can slow your powerhead enough with this adjustment. Other wise you will need a ball valve like everyone has said to hold down the output from your pump. otherwise you can get a smaller gph powerhead or pump, but usually the ball valve method is more preferable.
