Icegirl - The pump I have here is available in the US and comes all in one and you just choose which parts you want then drill the impellor.
On another note I have actually returned to the diffusor. Why you may ask?
It wasn't for any problem with the powerjet but aesthetically it is noticeable and not very pretty whereas the glass ceramic is quite nice to look at.
I found that I had to clean it anyway as the holes would catch muck just like any filter or pump does.
I found that it was moving the substrate in the front left corner of the tank and I wondered about my 'barrier' being broken and cloudy clay Tropica substrate coming into contact wit the water.
I like my Nympheae stems and leaves to gently move in the water rather than be 'forced' into an outstretched position.
The final aspect was that my fish were all hanging out at the opposite end of the tank and I wasn't getting to see them.
So I cleaned the diffusor which weekly isn't really a hassle anyway and then did a complete clean of my filter (which only has half the media in it anyway)
Hopefully the fish will settle back into viewable positions soon.
