Also check the shipped water for Alk value and compare it to your tank. Sudden Alk swing could do some harm.
Kindly post pic after it arrived. Lets see the progress. Mine from Sexy doesn't look sexy even now ((

Make sure to cover all power heads, to protect the nem, as it's wandering around, to find it's happy spot. It WILL wander. IF, it gets caught in a power head, DO NOT pull it out! Unplug the power head and let it work itself out. Surprisingly, they usually survive.

Any hole on a powerhead is big enough to pull a nem in!!

Is there a way to put a sponge over the intake?

there's no where i can put the sponge....even the powerhead only slide's out about little less than 1/4 of an inch form from the wave box.....
