    By the way, you can get the potentiometer from RapidLED...it's the same dimming control they use for the dimmable LED kits. Radioshack might have this pot. as well.

    lol. I quoted it word for word in one of my previous posts. The potentiometer is for fine tuning of the wave height.

    The box that the pump fits into (in the tank)? There's not much to it...just 4 sides (and a bottom) and a hole for the pump to push water out of.

    Questions are always welcome in this hobby. Everyone knows that. :p lol. Though, I'm not sure what "K" is.

    I see now that you were looking at the diagram. I'm not an electrician, so I don't know what they mean by "K" either. Sorry, 1.0reef.
