Just purchased the same Gast pump (2050) for my small 1/3 acre pond. NyQuiLlama, you say you used a "large planter bottom and some sakcrete for my base." Is this easy to remove for service? Can you post some pictures or email me some pictures at msdog88@yahoo.com? I'm struggling trying to come up with an easy way to secure the diffuser to the bottom and yet make it easy to remove for service.

Would you still recommend the FlexAir 9" disc diffuser? I haven't purchased this yet... still trying to figure everything out.

Thanks for any help you could give me.
