Did some snooping online over lunch and found the answer to my bulk kalkwasser question. The answer is YES - use some newspaper as a gasket between the container and the lid and get some eggcrate for the pump to sit on.

I think this is going to work out nicely!

Gotcha. Thank you very much for all your help. I went out and picked up a new 32g Brute tonight. To help keep the pump raised I remembered that I had a grit guard that I used to use when hand washing cars. I thoroughly washed and rinsed it and now I have it soaking in a vinegar bath to take off remaining residue. I think it'll work well.
