Ok I found the pic but still can't make out what it is. Where do you
get this "mesh basket clamshell" and how do you fasten it to/over the
pump?


The mesh basket are what nurseries sell as aquatic baskets for plants. You
buy 2 the same size that when hooked together at the open ends (with zip
ties) it forms a big clam, with pump inside. All you have to do is make
holes big enough for piping and cord. HTHs
