Flooding And Draining A Large Area.

I have a table equaling 5 feet by 5 feet in area and 6 inches deep. I lined it with pond liner, drilled a hole each for the flooding piece and drain piece, and installed them both. I did a test run tonight and wanted to ask a few questions. It took about 15 minutes to fill the 5x5 area to about an inch and a half deep. It also took about 20 minutes to drain. Keep in mind there was no pots in the tray and no rockwool to soak any of this water up. I'm worried that this entire flooding and draining process took to long. I'm planning on having about 50 8" pots on the tray. What height would be ideal to flood the tray to, and do I need to take any steps to ensure that the table floods quicker and drains quicker as well? Perhaps installing a stronger pump or a second pump, and also installing a second drain piece?
