Well,the EK backplate shipped on the 26th if August, and the PPC top has been sorted out by my new friend BlueAqua. We were chatting on MSN about my situation and he mentioned he had a Petra top on his DDC-2 that had the stop issue and he was not using it. I asked if he wanted the EK-D5 top that I recieved in error and we decided to swap not before BA talked me into buying his DDC-2 (JK BlueAqua LOL) I mentioned to him that I could use the pump and he gave me a sick deal. Which reminds me I have to Paypal him some fundage

After I got the email asking for pics of the inccorect pump top I knew I didnt have the patience to deal with hese guys over something that cheap.

NP m8. I just dont want to wizz in someone elses pool

As far as the new "floor" I would most likely get it with no holes and make my own and grommet them to order. It is going to take a minor miracle to get 2 loops going with 2 DDC-2 and my huge res's. On retrospect I think I should have gone with 150's or even 100's like BlueAqua. I think I can still mash it in there and have it look good.

As far as Powedercoating I think I am in a better situation in my location. There are allot of fab shops around me because of the oilfield and the subsequent money people have to throw around. Problem comes when you have guys doing work for you with standards lower than yours. Try to get a guy to give a crap about your computer case when he thinks it is only worth 50 bux and all he want to do it go home and have a beer and sit his ass on the couch. That is where guys like Charles_H that have sifted through that pile and found the gems that are as mental as we are about quality and realize what this stuff is worth.

Again, time will tell wether I will be albe to afford that kind of workmanship. I mean a rig as nice as Murderbox is worthy of several upgrade cycles, so it might just save money
