I'm asssuming you need it to ramp up to 100% quickly to get a wave in your size system? How are you finding the noise factor on short pulse ramping from idle to 100%?

You are correct, I am running at 100%, the noise is barely noticable... If you are near the end of the tank with the dry side showing, you can slightly hear the starting and stopping of the pump itself, but again I will say "Barely noticable"... So I guess I got things aligned really good.

So far so good, I am impressed. Now it isn't a huge wave, but it does crest up/down about 1 inch, which is great for me, otherwise I might end up splashing out the top. It does look cool, got the ends cresting up, while in the middle it crests down, really cool to look at.
