I glued the shaft to the impellor using Devcon Devweld. Don't know if this is a UK product or if you have it in the USA. It's a 2 part epoxy glue.
The prop had a threaded bronze sleeve in it. Using 4mm tube that came with the CO2 bottle I use on my calc reactor, this was a tight push fit over the maxijet shaft. As the thread in the prop was 4mm, I screwed this onto the 4mm plastic tube, which then cut its own thread. At the same time, it pinched the tube tighter onto the shaft. There is a tiny amount of bronze still showing that I plan to seal with glue (to prevent contamination in the tank). Works well though.
Niko5 - yeah that would work. The "streams" have a fairly open fronted design. I know there's been some concerns if using with a wave device as the pump could switch off allowing fish etc to hide in there. When it then starts up again....well the results are obvious. But like you say, if its running all the time, then not a problem.
