Do you have a center overflow? I also found the operation of the wavebox to be pretty darn loud with all the water spilling in there. My herbie is silent!

As long as that blue line is just below the water you're good to go. I find its a bit designed like a durso. Having the whole thing submerged (I didnt' read the instructions when I first got mine "instructions? who cares, lets get this baby running!") and sunk the whole thing. Its very bubbly and messy that way. Having the top above the water allows for silent running and no bubbles.

I don't have a center overflow, just an end one. That sucks about the noise, I see you already have them for sale
