Well, I had a mishap using the 220watt tec and the Spiral W/B by fixitt. I forgot to turn on the waterpump before powering the pelt. Real stupid, I know

. But I realized I had forgoten to plug the waterpump in only 20seconds after I turned on the pelt and imediatly turned off the power to the pelt and reached to plug in the water pump when I heard the crack of the acrylic top.

Yesterday I finally got around to making a new top. I want to contiue using the Spiral but knew the acrylic was not a good idea with such a strong pelt. So I made a two piece top out of aluminum, and used epoxy to bond the pieces to create the design.

You can see the pics HERE

All I have left is tap the in and outlets for fittings and reseal the top.
