I got this one at Garden Ridge, complete with the pump, a tub reservoir, tubing for $60 I think it was. It barely bubbles up, then silently cascades over the jar for a sleek look. Not exactly what I had in mind it would do, but love it now. We have a waterfall close that we can hear, if we didn't have that, I might miss the sound. My purpose in posting it is, if you look, the top is not open, it has a peice of PVC in the hole that the tubing fits over. So the jar isn't full of water, and takes less push to carry the water. The rounded edge and sloping sides keeps the water from splashing. So consider that when picking a shape. You could add a bowl and seal it, to hold the tubing and create a small pool at the top. Lowe's has a lot of pumps, don't go too small, also you don't want one that isn't adjustable either. Oh, and the pump on this one is in the holding tank, which has a trap door on the top, so I can reach below the rocks to take the pump out without lifting the jar off.
