Or does the configuration of the box/pump dictate the rate of waves?
I also noticed at your overflow box to the sump, water surging in at different rates in conjunction to the "wave". Is there any concern here to look out for?

Its turned on all the time. It works by timing the on/off cycle of the pump in sync with the wave resonance. Which normally range from 1-2secs in a typical aquarium.
The overflow box does affect the overall wave height but should not be a hinderance once its tuned correctly.
