The flow is nice @gMAN, definitely good pumps. Have you fiddled with the short pulse yet to make a wave? I'm sure you could manage one

i dont think that 1 MP40 per side will be enough to put stress on the tank of your size. you can relax and try it safely

But if your tank is built well I wouldn't worry as @ziyaadb says. You could always start small and make the wave as big as you feel safe with.

I could tell you some really scary stories about waves in tanks if you want
If I made the wave big enough in my tank(by moving the wavebox as it makes its wave), the whole setup would sway. Not by much, a couple of mm but you could still see it

I only did that however, when it only had water in it and it was to test the new seals on the tank. It was also for a crest to trough wave of 10cm(i think it was 10, but 14cms comes to mind too). I think I put a video of it up, can't remember where though

I think that maybe your pulses are too quick. Slow them down some more and get a bigger wave where your nennies tentacles sway from side to side. Try each pulse being about half a second. Obviously i'm not saying time it, just judge it
This means more videos for us

Some of my guys enjoying the grazer that I got from TSR at the expo, what a great alternative to nori clips

Also picked up the grazer at the expo. Even my Naso whom doesn't touch nori munches into it.
Only thing I don't like about it is the way my fish chow away at one side to the point where it forms a gap in the ring and falls off the suction cup. Lost 2 this way behind the rockwork... :-/ Very pleased with my Naso now eating his greens though
