wavebox not pushing out water

I think we should start at square one, as almost all of the situations where the pump is thrusting water like this are caused by it needing dialed in to the correct timing or needs a new location. Since you were only getting a 1/2 at first I think it is one of the following
1. First off does the pump have clear line of sight across the tank? Large rocks etc in its path will buffer the wave action
2. Secondly if you have not make sure the pumps speed is turned all the way up using the small dial on the junction box.
3. Using the pulse dial turn it all the way counter clockwise so starting at the fastest pulse. then turn it clockwise in TINY increments, my way of describing this is if you can see the dial move you are moving it too much at once. Wait about 30-60 seconds between each movement to let the wave begin if you have found the correct timing.

Also be sure the sponge is not over the pump inlet, it is a vibration dampner and not a filter. It will clog and reduce performance if placed over the intake.
Be sure the screws for the rails are threaded into the holes in the back of the box even if you are using magnet holders, this alone will add 1/8" to wave height in some cases.
